Education Week's CCSS Coverage

Education Week has been doing some decent coverage of the CCSS and the recent backlash. Today they posted two articles about the CCS:

• What Do Math Educators Think About the Common Core? - Erik Robelen writes about math teacher's opinions of the CCSS, that he gathered at last week's annual meeting of the NCTM. The opinions are positive and look forward to challenging standards. 
• Poking Fun at the Common-Core Opposition - Benjamin Riley at New Schools Venture Fund writes a fake memo detailing the 'conspiracy' of the Common Core that has been found out by a "...band of truth seeking American patriots would see through our ruse and reveal our true intentions."
