Bill: Give Every Student A Chance Act (4187)

Details

Submitted by[?]: Demokratische Partei

Status[?]: passed

Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Voting deadline: March 4188

Description[?]:

Why does this great nation still enforce a National Curriculum? We (the moderate party) agree that our expectations should be high and similar for all children in every state. We also think that curricula should be designed before assessments are developed, not the other way around. However, this party doesn't agree that a one-size-fits-all, centrally controlled curriculum for every K-12 subject makes sense for this country. Such an approach threatens to shut the door on educational innovation, freezing in place an unacceptable status quo and hindering efforts to develop academically rigorous curriculum, assessments, and standards that meet the challenges that lie ahead. Because we are deeply committed to improving this country's schools and increasing all students' academic achievement, we cannot support this effort to undermine control of public school curriculum and instruction at the local and state level. A single set of curriculum guidelines, models, or frameworks CANNOT BE JUSTIFIED at the high school level, given the diversity of interests, talents and pedagogical needs among adolescents. For years, we've been blaming the teachers and school, every time our nations educational performance went down. Have we ever thought about blaming it on those law makers who haven't even sat a single day in a classroom setting? For that reason, let's leave it to the schools, to give every talent, every art a chance.
