> I have mixed thoughts on a National Curriculum.  I
Whether or not we like it, I think we already have a national curriculum of 
sorts in K-6. The publishers give it to us! If you examine each textbook 
company's books in each subject, they all cover much of the same material, 
tho perhaps in a different style. There isn't much deviation. To get 
something "odd", you have to go to a non-standard publisher, such as the ones 
publishing for Christian school use.
Also, it seems like many of the state curricula have borrowed other states' 
curricula and copied it.
Both ways, it sounds pretty national to me. I couldn't tell you about grades 
7 to 12. I've only taught Music in those grades, and didn't use a textbook.
