[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you are missing, is that what's right for YOUR child, might not be right for other children. A teacher and district (local level) can do that faster and more efficiently than state and fed.[/quote]

In this city, historically, many educators have decided that reading is not something that is right for poor black and brown kids.  That it was over their heads, or not something they needed.  Yes, instruction and standards need to be tweaked for some individual students, but there is a body of knowledge that is standards and should be a goal for every child. [/quote]

And in Texas, historically, the state has decided that science is not something that is right for the children of Texas. And since Texas is a large market, the textbook publishers all adjusted their textbooks accordingly, so that children in other states didn't get to learn science either. [/quote]

So what you are saying here is Texas is completely eliminating all science from their curriculum? [/quote]
