[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote][b]Sadly, many of them would have fucked up the rollout regardless of how good or bad the standards are[/b]. But, it's convenient to just blame the standards than actually deal with the bureaucracy and dysfunction.[/quote]

If this was known, why were the states pushed to adopt the standards at all?  If this was known, why didn't the feds take other steps to improve the "bureaucracy and dysfunction" problems?

Why were standards thought to be the end all for improving things if this was already known?  [/quote]

Who says it was known?  I just happen to be one person who is a little more cynical about state and local governance than most.  And again, CC wasn't a "Fed" thing to begin with, it was initiated by the states, led by the states, developed by the states, and rolled out by the states - the feds came on at the tail end of the process, mainly just to provide a little funding to help states with adoption.  And that means, state rollout would evidently have been EVEN WORSE if the feds weren't supplementing states with additional resources.[/quote]
