The Common Core proposals are in increasingly deep trouble. Now Massachusetts, one of the states to originate the program and the tests, is pulling out. Hard to say what happens next.

In the portions of New Jersey I know a little bit about, there was little concern about the standards but deep concern about the testing regimen.
