I am trying to align our Math curriculum content to these state standards. Often the references are difficult to interpret and there is much duplication. Having looked over the recent draft of common core state standards, I am impressed by the obvious work that has gone into it. However, I hear the voices of descent from certain states, in particular those who feel they are already leaders in setting high standards.

I think that we're a long way from states adopting the Common Core standards. I tend to think the odds lie with states continuing to have patchwork standards that are not cenrtal to their school systems. Here is why: http://kevinrkosar.com/wordpress/?p=877 Regards, KRK Sir:
