Common Curriculums in the US

[Andrew Whitworth]

Just a passing note about a news story I saw today:

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=10806183

If the majority of the US is standardizing on a single curriculum (or,
at least, a standard base curriculum), that makes a nice stable target
for Wikibooks textbook authors to aim at when creating books for
school-aged US children. It certainly beats the large and unruly mess
of competing standards that made such targetting impossible for
Wikibooks in the past.

oddly the abcnews site does not link to the Common Core Standards website -
www.corestandards.org

Here is a link to yesterday's press release:
