What is "phonetics" in the Common Core

[Herb Stahlke]

Tom,

Thanks for the link.  The Common Core has become something of a political
football in the Indiana senate.

I looked through the sections you flagged, and I found "phonetically," but
not "phonetics."  I think in eduspeak "phonetically" is the adverbial form
of "phonics," not of "phonetics."

Herb
