"This is a move away from the time when a student can be punished for the location of his home or the depth of his father's pockets."

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?

Any of the bilingual teachers I can remember were native speakers of languages other than English and had accents that reflected their ethnicities.
