Let's take a look at what this actually says:

[b]Who will manage the Common Core State Standards in the future?[/b]
The Common Core State Standards are and will remain a state-led effort, and adoption of the standards and any potential revisions will continue to be a voluntary state decision. The National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and the Council of Chief State School Officers will continue to serve as the two leading organizations with ownership of the Common Core and will make decisions about the timing and substance of future revisions to the standards in consultation with the states. Federal funds have never and will never be used to support the development or governance of the Common Core or any future revisions of the standards. Any future revisions will be made based on research and evidence. Governance of the standards will be independent of governance of related assessments.

[b]So basically, nobody is responsible. If there's a horrible standard, there's no office to call, nobody in charge.[/b] No face of Common Core to stand up and take responsibility and ownership of these standards.  This was written by a marketer to say nothing of meaning. But I guess you just like pretty words on a page. [/quote]

So basically, what you are saying is totally correct, except for the part that is directly contradicted by what you are quoting.

When you say, basically no one is responsible, there's no office to call, you are ignoring the evidence you cited in the text, namely:

[quote][b]The National Governors Association Center for Best Practices[/b] and [b]the Council of Chief State School Officers [/b]will continue to serve as the two leading organizations with [b]ownership of the Common Core[/b] and [b]will make decisions about the timing and substance of future revisions[/b] to the standards in consultation with the states.[/quote]
