The left has demonstrated the nature of their work.

You can be certain every brilliant idea of the left will result in the opposite of the initial claimed intent.

Schools are already Teaching to State Standards, and agendas, instead of things like critical thinking skills, commonsense. Children are taught to the LOWEST standard. Standards started dropping in the late 60's and have continued to drop. They dropped even more with the explosion of Illegal INVADERS in to the US School Systems. I noticed it when my youngest was in 3rd grade, the teacher only taught multiplication to the 6's. They wanted to teach sexual education, I did not want my child learning, marriage is not between same sex. Guns are evil. They labeled him Learning Disabled in both math and reading D/F. Took 3 months with flash cards and Dick and Jane style books, and he was preforming beyond the set standards for that grade-A/B levels. I just simply used the 1950 standards I learned with.

Neither side is always on the right side of history.

As it concerns mathematics, there is nothing wrong with requiring that algebra students nationwide be able to arrive at the same solution for y = 2x + 3.

In science, shouldn't the periodic table be the same nationwide?

For English, a noun should be a noun nationwide as long as the curricula does not restrict the dynamic nature of the English language.

I'm most leery about history/social studies but there are strong arguments that can be made in favor of all students receiving the same baseline education in history and social studies. Regional and ethnic specific studies can still be offered as local elective courses.

My husband taught JR College, 96% of the A/B math graduated students from the Memphis City Schools had to be taught REMEDIAL math before they could take his Electronics and Computer Science courses. Not so the Shelby County and Foreign students from the countries where parents demanded high standards.
