Why doesn't the media inform the public about the "Common Core" learning standards?

[Media Bias Watcher]

Since all but Hawaii and Alaska have adopted these new learning standards shouldn't the media be explaining them to parents? If not the media, then why aren't the schools explaining them?

It just seems so secretive and wrong! How and when will kids be tested? Will more kids be held back if they don't meet these specific standards?

If teachers salaries are based on students performance then shouldn't the students and parents be held accountable for the learning of these standards as well?
