> Common core is a pretty interesting curriculum.

Common Core is a set of standards that curricula need to meet, not a curriculum. It may seem nitpicky, but it's an important distinction considering the amount of hate lumped on to Common Core because of shitty curricula that implement it.

I think the standards are great, and well-designed curricula (as it sounds like Arizona has), are fantastic.

When my kids were starting school, I looked up Common Core. At the time, some of the states had published their standards. My impression was that the standards seemed remarkably "normal" if I may use that word. It was pretty much the same subject matter that I learned in school as a kid.
