DOWN TO THIRTY-SIX?: Of the 45 partner states originally signed onto Common Core, at least nine are getting cold feet as the 2013-2014 implementation approaches.

The HuffPo has details on those efforts here. It’s unclear how far the backpedaling will go -- recent protests across the nation may prove nothing more than political fodder. If you’re on the ground in any of these states, we’d love to hear your take!
