In @Issue Just five years after signing on to adopt the Common Core State Standards, New Jersey offi- cials are unceremoniously signing out. To implement the Common Core standards — a set of educational benchmarks aimed at increasing classroom rigor — New Jersey public schools spent five years training teachers, investing in new technology and buying textbooks. Bowing to political pressure, the state is now re- versing course and reverting to a not-so-distant past when New Jersey educators set their own aca- demic bar. A six-month review of the existing stan- dards for math, English and language arts com- menced Wednesday, with an aim toward putting a New Jersey stamp on new standards. Despite the about-face, nobody is forecasting wholesale changes in New Jersey. Such 360-degree turns can take considerable time and money.

LAKEWOOD — Nobody throws a bowling ball quite like Vinnie Orobono. He begins normally enough, with a purposeful, conventional stride forward. Then things get funky. Right-handers typically release the ball on the right side of the lane, curving the ball back toward the center pin. Not Orobono. He veers left and hugs the left gut- ter so close, you’d swear he’s going to cross into the adjacent lane. Instead, at the very last instant, the ball bangs down on one of the far left boards and bends explo- sively to the right. When he’s in a groove, the pins don’t so much topple over as detonate.
