*sigh* it's true. I suppose that's the benefit of Common Core,
   if it works out the way they want it to. If the states HAVE to
   have the same standards, _eventually_ things should even out.
   In theory, it's good.
   I hope it works.
   I'm just not crazy about some of the untested experiments
   they're doing at the same time that AREN'T related to Common
   Core.
   But I shan't go into an education rant.
   I promised myself I wouldn't smile emoticon
