Better late than never?

Typical bureaucratic BS...

Oh well...

This "education reform" mess is called CCSS (Common Core State Standards), not CSSS (Common Sense State Standards.)

As French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher Voltaire noted in his Dictionnaire Philosophique (1764):

Well, 250 years of subsequent history have only reaffirmed his astute observation.
