Some have found it odd that the Common Core official website does not seem to list or credit those involved in the development of standards. This does not provide transparency in government. For example, the link provided by the poster above is from Arizona, it is not from Common Core.

Bringing up the floor for those who've not been learning at even minimal levels for a variety of reasons may be but one aspect of education reform. Raising the ceiling for those who've not been learning at their challenge levels due to benign neglect in the classroom is another important aspect of education reform, and one which unfortunately may remain largely unaddressed by Common Core.
