The points that sell me on this are: 1) The option is there to be tougher than the Common Core. This is the MINIMUM standard. 2) Federal government was not actually involved, although they did encourage it. Safe to interpret that federal money was not spent on this, which will make the conservatives happy, or at least negate reasonable complaint.
If it works the way it's supposed to, this will be a very good thing. Except the Alaska and Texas parts. WTF, guys?
