Doss, is there any additional articles that would make your point in the OP more clear?

I should give some context -- on Friday (the day I posted this thread) I was interviewing my current Calculus teacher about how math is taught in public schools, and this is when he showed me the article from Education Reporter. Then he said that some other sources stated that these standards would allow schools to get federal grants, even if it worsened the standards in some states (and Massachusetts has been known to have good standards).
