You might say that is due to the politicians and bureaucrats but when you drop transformative concepts onto society, you have some responsibility to provide an instruction manual and at least beta test your concepts.

Gates is polished, good at selling himself, and convincing but his "vision" isn't always on track and his "products" don't always work as designed.
Nailed it.
The problem with Common Core is that it was built from the top down, which appears to be Gates' MO. I mean, doesn't that explain every terrible user experience on Microsoft platforms? Anyone remember Millennium Edition?!
