Proponents of a standardized curriculum frequently point to it being more economical and efficient than a curriculum that allows variation. Construct an essay explaining why this may be so.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: If students agree, they should point to things such as standardization of content and making it easier for students to change schools. Students who disagree should meet the needs of each student population so individual school’s needs may vary. All should concur that the state sets minimums, but most should agree districts can go further. Look for a really good essay to include a statement that the size of a district makes a difference; the larger the district the more room there needs to be for differentiation of curriculum at the school level.
