During my careless youth I was incarcerated in various schools in both Maine and New York State. In the Jurassic era, both of these places had very high standards and a more or less standard curriculum. Maine expected a fellow leaving 8th grade to step up at Bath Iron works with a full complement of handy skills including math, welding, and a smattering of naval architecture, surveying, and a proper attitude.

New York State had the Board of Regents Examinations, successful passing being mandatory for the issuance of an academic diploma. Each exam rigorously tested for a minimum of factual knowledge in every known subject. That's what I though "Common Core" was supposed to be about.

What is it actually about? Commie indoctrination?
