Florida’s new math and English standards aren’t ready for prime time
When policymakers contend that their standards deserve to be replicated, especially when those policymakers lead big, highly regarded states like Florida, we at Fordham think their claims merit a closer look.

The verdict: Other states should indeed look for models to emulate, but they won’t find them in Florida.
