and federal regulations managed to impose the abysmal Common Core standards in math and English on nearly every state,

Try getting your facts straight. Obama had nothing to do with it.

The state-led effort to develop the Common Core State Standards was launched in 2009 by state leaders, including governors and state commissioners of education from 48 states, two territories and the District of Columbia, through their membership in the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). State school chiefs and governors recognized the value of consistent, real-world learning goals and launched this effort to ensure all students, regardless of where they live, are graduating high school prepared for college, career, and life.

If you had kids you would know Common Core replaced the NCLB Act which was passed under Bush with Ted Kennedy's help.

And if you had a clue you'd realize that the NCLB Act was set up to recognize failing schools and teachers and gave parents the ability to opt out of a failing school to a school with passing grades.

It also set up standardized testing to recognize a failing school but a bunch of whiny mothers complained that their kids were failing. lol.

So the governors replaced the NCLB with Common Core which was a disaster.

Cutting and pasting BS seems to be your forte.
