Common Core Standards implementation in Indiana is likely to stall; thanks to brilliant part-time legislators !

Indiana's legislation (brilliant for working part-time !) has sent Gov. Pence a bill that would essentially halt the implementation of Common Core Standards and send it back to a series of "public hearing". 

These public hearings will not have any material impact to the standards adoption process or the timeline itself, other than provide "critical input" to the State Board of Education. 

The State Board of Education has already blessed the adoption of CCS.

The primary fellow behind this "re-thinking" is Rep. Senator Scott Schneider. And his claim is that he didn't want "big brother" to dictate our education standards.

If he is suggesting washington politicians are not qualified to frame standards, what makes him qualified ?

What this means for those school districts who are already into implementation ? Dilemma, Wasted time, Confusion, Skepticism and of course the most impacted in this mess -- the Students.

Just for a moment, imagine the "object" is Football, instead of Education. How many parents would tolerate indecisiveness on the "rules" of football while the politicians evaluate which set of rules to adopt ?

Will the outrage be different ?
