we dont call it common core, we also dont recognize it in texas yes.  But it has been implemented into the way our teachers are taught to teach.  I know several teachers that will tell you just that. 4951

@angiekaye: Do you have first hand information on common core?

I am a teacher and yes it's similar but common core is not what our standards are called. There is stuff that is similar but that's not what we teach as far as the name. 4951

www.texasaft.org/in- case-you-wondered-co mmon-core-does-not-a pply-in-te/ Little unknow Bill signed into law in June.  It does not prevent Texas for adopting a "Common Core" like curriculum unfortunately.   4951

at least Texas isn't at the bottom, but i would love to know which of these did implement full common core.   Texas has some of the richest schools, or did until the robinhood was put into place.  I know back before Deer Park and Barbers Hill were top in the state for education and richness.  Their teachers were and still are the highest paid. 4951
