    I'll be there, but Ill be supporting the new math TEKS. Its
    a bout time we raised our standards and expectations.
    Lowering standards too a point that students already meet
    them is not education.

    CCS and TEKS were always congruent, the big issue is that
    CCS has shorter pacing. Students are expected to know more
    sooner, and thats a good thing.
