They obviously weren't all that fine, because it was the states that felt the need to come up with a new set of standards - which became Common Core. [/quote]

Myth. Read the history.  Money encouraged them and they adopted them before they were developed.  Gates drove this train.

I've read the history. "They adopted them before they were developed" is the myth. Two states (Kentucky and West Virginia) adopted the Common Core standards after the standards were distributed to the states in February 2010 but before the final release of the standards in June 2010.

Here is the timeline for 2010, leading to the release of the final standards in June 2010:

[i]January 2010: CCSSO and NGA request states’ feedback on a revised draft of the K-12 grade by grade college and career readiness standards. Several independent reviews of the standards begin.

February 2010: Revised version of K-12 grade by grade college and career readiness standards distributed to states.

March 2010: CCSSO and NGA release draft K-12 grade by grade college and career readiness standards for public comment on www.corestandards.org. Educators and members of the public provide comments, summarized here.

June 2010: NGA and CCSSO release the final Common Core State Standards.[/i]

Here is a document listing whether and when each state that adopted the Common Core State Standards:
