They might listen to the "experts". Thank the standard writers for understanding that we can still have high expectations without overwhelming our students with lots of "stuff". These standards will allow our students to master the key concepts and skills that they can build on to truly understand the math concepts at appropriate developmental levels. I am familiar with Singapore math and have used their philosophy in my arguments for many years. I would be interested in any other documents that you may have availble with regard to the new standards.
