The new federal K-12 curriculum requires little more than minimum competencies in knowledge-based learning.

Thereby ensuring "no child left behind", for a relatively small taxpayer contribution. How noble.

for a relatively small taxpayer contribution

It's not a small contribution, it's a rip-off. If you know of someone who works for the public schools, ask them about all the 'new programs' public schools 'try out' every year. It will make your head spin. They waste incredible amounts of our money on 'junk education programs'.
