Would someone please explain exactly why it is that you take exception to CC?
You are clueless. Wake the hell up. What about learning to count, to read and orate, and to correctly place ones' self in time and space requires fed-gov involvment? Watch the video at the link of Michele Malkin's speech in FL. She hands Jeb Bush his azz:

The federal involvement created by CC is most prominent in the form of sanctions for low performance. Ever heard of NCLB? CC simply ensures that a student that transfers to a school in Little Falls, MN from a school in Columbus, GA is at roughly the same place in his/her education and has learned similar things. NCLB created sanctions for not knowing things that may not have been taught at the same time from school to school. It also assumed that ALL students would meet AYP by this year or the schools would be sanctioned. Not at all realistic. Federal involvement in education is a reality that isn't going to go away until schools are funded 100% on the state and local level. That isn't likely to be a reality either.
