You will know more about this since it's your state, but it looks like Georgia has just this summer adopted Common Core Standards for math and English instruction. This is an attempt to nationalize K-12 standards, and these standards have been signed onto by many states. So you may be in for another big change...
yes, it all looks so good on paper. what i have learned about Georgia is that there is a tremendous, enormous, stupendous gap between the goals the department of education writes on paper and what the schools are actually achieving. perhaps GA differs from no other state in this regard. it's why i homeschooled as long as i did and continue to homeschool the areas the state requirements are lacking in. going to conventional school was something my son lobbied for. i gave in with the understanding that i would not let georgia public school hinder his education. :terror:
