I just went to a workshop for my district where they said the same thing!
Hooray!

For all of you in this situation, hang in there. Last week our
superintendent came to a meeting of people selected to work on aligning
our curriculum to the Common Core Standards. He wanted to tell us
personally that whatever had happened in the past, we were now to treat
the text books as tools to help us plan lessons that help our students
achieve proficiency on the grade level standards. The pendulum is
swinging back. I was afraid that this day would never come. (He had to
come because many of the teachers couldn't believe what the presenters
were telling us) Teach? We don't need to be on the same page? We don't
even have to use the same stories? (Someone even asked "how can we do
that?") I faintly heard the Hallelujah chorus in the background and I had
to stop myself from dancing in the auditorium.
