Forty-five states, the District of Columbia, four territories, and the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) have adopted the Common Core State Standards.  Virginia, Texas, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Alaska are the only states that have not adopted Core.

Where is Virginia ranked for education?  Who are you calling clueless?  Gotta love the naysayers.[/quote]

Virginia is ranked 26 with an education policy grade oh C-.  We are teetering on average to below average.  This is reality.  Do what you can to make things better.  Parent involvement at home and in the classroom, especially in the elementary years is one way of getting things kicked off right.  In any case, don't kid yourself into thinking everything is peachy and perfect.  We aren't doing that great.[/quote]

True. But remember there is a big difference between Virginia and Northern Virginia.[/quote]

Yeah, well. That sounds really scary for Virginia because we used to live in one of those "scary" urban districts in another state and their gen ed was like our AAP while their AAP blew us out of the water. [/quote]
