You know there's a problem when states are afraid to even use the term "Common Core"

Washington Post - Nineteen states have come up with a new name that includes anything but “Common” or “Core.” There’s the “Wyoming Content and Performance Standards.” Or “Ohio’s New Learning Standards.” Maine chose not to change the name of its standards, instead folding the Common Core into its existing “Maine Learning Results.”

Forty-three states and the District of Columbia have fully adopted the Common Core State Standards, which spell out the skills and knowledge in math and reading that students should possess from grades K through 12. Four states – Alaska, Nebraska, Texas and Virginia – never adopted the Common Core. Minnesota adopted the reading standards only.
