Every new curriculum has problems. I don't think that's a reason to never change the curriculum.[/quote]

New curriculums are supposed to be tested on smaller groups--not do wholesale change without checks and balances.

That's a lovely idea, but I doubt that it actually happens in reality. Could you give me some examples of curricula actually used in meaningful numbers in the US that were tested on smaller groups before getting rolled out?[/quote]

Just to add to this, when was the last time a whole curriculum changed and the materials changed along with it?  I don't want my kids to learn the same curriculum I did 40+ yrs ago.   The world has changed; the job market has significantly changed and will continue to do so as technological advances are made.  My kids know how to type long before I ever did.  They also read, write, do math problems at a level higher than I or my DH did at their age, and DH was educated in Europe.  I think it's pretty impressive.[/quote]
