State legislatures will double their efforts this year to change, slow down or outright repeal Common Core, the new standards-based education curriculum that 45 states and the District of Columbia began adopting in 2010.
Several bills working their way through the Maryland General Assembly this session are part of this trend.
In 2013 and in 2012, 20% of Common Core related bills in other states sought to change the controversial curriculum. This year that number will rise to 40%, said Daniel Thatcher, an education analyst with the National Conference of State Legislatures (NASC) who is studying the issue.

Just more chaos created by Ob' so he can declare martial law.
Kids who weren't learning under NCLB made it necessary for states to find another curriculum for ALL students. When the same kids don't learn with Common Core, we'll change again.
