And remember, I already know how to read pretty "good," and I learned to read without Common Core. So let's turn Common Core on its head.

According to the national Common Core reading standards, endorsed by the New York Times in a 2014 editorial, middle school students should be able to "[i]dentify aspects of a text that reveal an author's point of view or purpose (e.g., loaded language, inclusion or avoidance of particular facts)" (CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.6-8.6) and "[d]istinguish among fact, opinion, and reasoned judgment in a text" (CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.6-8.8). Despite its support for Common Core, a recent New York Times editorial championing so-called educational reform shows that the paper and its staff definitely need remediation and probably should go back to middle school until they can master the new standards.
