Here's a start.  He blames PARCC--but, face it, PARCC was developed with help from CC developers.[/quote]

Can we please stick with the assertion at hand, namely that "so many systems" are having "so much trouble" implementing the Common Core standards?

Unless you would also like to support two further assertions, namely that

1. The developers of the Common Core standards also helped to develop the PARCC tests, and this was improper.
2. The Common Core standards (not NCLB) require testing.[/quote]

Presenting a handful of examples does not constitute "so many" any more than holding up a snowball on the floor of the Senate on a February proves that climate change is a hoax - particularly when everywhere but the East Coast of the US was experiencing warmer than usual weather at that point in time.  Anyone can cherrypick information.  Citing 3, 4 or 5 examples when there are over 130,000 K-12 public schools in the US isn't exactly compelling.
