McKim for Leaner Standards

Brent McKim's op-ed in Sunday's C-J argues that our current Core Content, though clear, is far too long. As a result, it cannot be taught well, and teachers are pushed toward weaker instructional practices. It's a classroom-centered argument I've heard him make well in person, and I'm glad to see it in print. (Brent is president of the Jefferson County Teachers Association.)
