I heard a panel discussion on the internet last week. . .Frances Swaggart with an attorney, educators, etc. on the common core. One teacher on the panel said that the Indiana standards are more of the same (a renowned professor investigated them thoroughly. .can’t remember the name). Parents need to do their homework in Indiana.
Illinois continues to be mired in the whole initiative of data mining. Came across this site

Common Core will get killed after the Standford and state level tests that start this week and next around the country.
When parents see kids who did above average last year get low marks this year, and in some school districts, get told they can’t graduate or move on to high school without summer school - millions of parents will rise up and strike this beast down.
