Michigan Governor wants State curriculum

The AP reports:

Gov. Jennifer Granholm called Friday for a mandatory statewide curriculum for Michigan's high school students.

It's another step toward possibly changing the state's mandatory requirements for high school graduates. The only current state requirement is a civics class, with the rest of the standards set by local school boards.

"With Michigan's economic future on the line, we can't afford to have our 500 local school districts marching in different directions," Granholm said in her weekly radio address. "Instead, we need a high standards, mandatory curriculum to get all our students on the road to higher education and a good paying job."

You can be sure that education will not improve with this horrible idea.Competition not centralization is the answer.
