It is entirely possible for a student with a significant disability to be assigned to an alternative curriculum at an IEP meeting. Students who cannot communicate should not assigned the common core standards, and cases where this occurs can be explained by incompetence or extreme parental intransigence.

The anecdote on the last page about innumeracy leading consumers to believe a 1/4 pound burger had more meat than a 1/3 pound is exactly the problem common core standards seek to address. The CCSS focus much more on making practical connections between real life and math, and heuristics to promote those connections, rather than series of algorithms. So kids spend more time comparing visual, concrete representations of fractions than they do simplifying fractions, for example.

Bad argument for the common core: It will fix the american educational system. Good argument for the common core: It will promote better classroom instruction than current standards. Good argument against the common core: It's a distraction from the most important issues impacting education in America-- Poverty and racism. Bad arguments against the common core: It doesn't matter how you teach poor kids they won't learn anyway/ federal guvermint!/ let teachers teach whatever/however they want
