Blogger Pans Texas For Adopting "Defunct" Math Standards

Jim Stergios writes at the Boston Globe (4/27) "Rock the Schoolhouse" blog that Texas recently "responded to national standards proponents, including the federal government, which are trying to drag it screaming into the mix of states who have adopted the so-called Common Core. The Lone Star state released draft state math standards that are built on the foundation of Massachusetts' now-defunct standards and those in place in Singapore. The goal: To craft standards that are the best in the nation. We'll see how US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan will respond now that Texas has the best standards in the land."
