One of the interesting aspects of discussion forums like ours is it that the people who are passionate about a topic tend to post on that topic the most. It makes it appear that most people agree even when there usually are plenty of dissenting opinions. However, those with differing opinions often don’t care passionately enough to bother getting into the discussion when it appears that they would be swimming upstream.
I understand Claire’s word choices in light of some of what has been going on in a bit of a homeschool publisher witch hunt, where compliant is equated with selling out to big brother.
For example, it’s been really sad to see good companies like Math-U-See raked over the coals for being compliant. They didn’t dumb down their materials. They didn’t fill their books with indoctrination. They didn’t take anything away. They didn’t compromise. They didn’t endorse government control.
They simply added a few pages that allowed them to meet the standards. It’s still the same great math curriculum and still goes above and beyond any government standards.
I understand all the stuff about possible national standards and testing and databases. But as long as individual states don’t force the standards on homeschoolers, we are relatively free from all of this if we’re not taking government money for educating our kids. Actually, if standardized testing is dumbed down then homeschoolers with high standards will shine even more in the results. 
By the way, we have no plans to try to meet the standards. In fact, it would not be possible to align what is taught and when in CCSS English standards with a Charlotte Mason style of educating.
