Common Core aims high school kids at Algebra II as their final secondary math class?
That is easily demonstrated untrue. Common Core contains standards for post-Algebra II concepts like trig functions, vector math, and statistics.
Also, just because it doesn't describe a standard for derivatives, doesn't mean the school can't teach calculus. When we're talking about standards, we're talking about minimums. We're describing a floor, not a ceiling.
The Pioneer Institute has a known political bias, so keep that in mind.
