These "10,000 comments" have been used by proponents in an arguably dishonest manner to point to a vetting process for the standards.

Here are the articles I've put up with comments published in them to date:

The Infamous “10,000” Comments On Common Core
10,000 Comments: NC Overall Feedback
10,000 Comments: NC Overall Feedback on K-5 ELA Standards
Here is another point of reference on these "10,000 comments":

Take a look at the summary of “public feedback” posted on the Core Standards website. It is grossly misleading. First of all, calling the feedback “public” is wrong: the organizers of the standards would not make public the nearly 10,000 comments they say they received from citizens. The summary quotes 24 respondents–less than 1/4 of 1 percent of the total–selectively chosen to back up their interpretation of the results.
-Source: Washington Post, 1/29-13

Today I have put together grade 6+ writing and language comments, as well as a section where people could leave more overall feedback on the ELA portion that might not have been covered in previous questions.

The first two, writing and language, only had 3 or 4 comments each. The third section that allowed for more overall commentary on the ELA had a flurry of comments.

NC Feedback - 6+ writing
NC Feedback - 6+ language
NC Feedback - More Overall ELA comments
In the 3rd set of comments above, there are a few excerpts I would like to share:
