I am all for the Common Core as it should improve our economic competitiveness. I am not sure the military issue mentioned in the article is relevant as the Department of Defense Education Activity (DODEA) schools have had a unified curriculum that is monitored for implementation and quality, and has been for years. DODEA students have ranked #1 or tied for #1 when comparing NAEP results to other states. I tried to see if this was still true, but the government shutdown has shutdown access to this information.
