NATIONAL K-12 School Curriculum!? YGTBKM!

The news says the Obama administration is now going to start pushing for a NATIONAL curriculum plan for kindergarteners through the twelfth grade. Same curricula, same textbooks, for every child. You know, because standardized testing is so great we need standardized teaching also.

Finland stomped America (and every other nation) into the ground in the latest survey of academic achievement. They allow every teacher in every classroom to decide what and how to teach. They place the expectation for learning on the students, not the teachers.

But VFD, how else can we ensure the children learn the right things in school?

Right as defined by whom?

Parents?

Teachers?

The local independent School District?

State politicians?

The Federal Government currently led by a Socialist with a "Safe School Czar" in favor of teaching "love" between adults and your children?

Is THIS the change you were hoping for?

Do you STILL think Congress hasn't gone too far with this whole "interstate commerce clause cancer," tying education funding to highway funding? Do you still think your state needs to send money to Washington DC to have it sent back to pay for highways with strings like this attached? Really?
