Common Core IS a standard, Curriculum 2.0 is Maryland's implementation.  Every state does NOT have to use common core.

The government tied common core to Race to the Top funding,  some states NEVER adopted Common Core, [b]Texas, Virginia, Nebraska and Alaska[/b].  Repeal legislation for the PARCC test has been introduced in [b]Florida.  Alabama and Indiana[/b] have introduced repeal legislation.  Implementation has also been halted in[b] Michigan[/b] and it's under review in[b] Indiana[/b].  [b]Louisiana[/b] lawmakers are also looking at introducing repeal legislation.  Georgia pulled out of PARCC testing due to the inflated cost under PARCC.

Surprise, surprise, contract has been awarded to Pearson, follow the money it all flows back to Pearson...

PARCC testing is expensive and adds additional educational days, here is a comparison for Florida, could not find one for Maryland...
