No matter which city, county, or state you school is located in, should students be learning the same thing? For example, all 4th graders are learning about their state's history, all 7th graders are learning algebra, etc.
Why or why not?
EDIT: It appears that I didn't make my point clear enough. Honors, gifted, AP, etc, classes would still exist. If I'm taking Geometry I in my state, with standardized curriculum I would be learning the same material as a student in Geometry I in another state.
Honors Geometry I is a different class than Geometry I, so an advanced student would not be held back.
