> So it is with Common Core. Common Core is a standard only and it may be a good one, but it's not going to solve the problem of curriculum authors shitting out bad curricula and passing it off in the school board simply because it "meets the standards". That's a structural problem and requires fundamental changes in how education is procured, distributed, and administered in the USA. People who conflate the standards and the curricula are abundant in discussions on Common Core, and it bugs the crap out of me.
