Yep, the math examples I've seen are BS (I'm not a math major but am an engineer, so know a little bit about math myself). My wife is a high school dance teacher, and I asked her if they used common core in school here. She checked and told me no. Found this when I googled -

"Seeking to maintain local control of education, Texas legislators recently prohibited the use of Common Core standards in Texas classrooms."

Another reason for me to love Texas!
