I feel curriculum should be standardized for all. I believe children need a direction in life. They need schools to provide them with the "three callings" that the Paideia Group believes. I also think about how our society looks at educating our children. In Nebraska, a child can quit school at the age of 16. There's been times I've heard other children say, "when I turn 16 that's it, I'm done". Shouldn't our government change this law to support our children to at least get a high school diploma? Most of these children grow up in homes that don't support education or their own child. As a member of society shouldn't we help motivate and direct these children to a better life. We leave it up to the children on whether or not they want to continue education through college, but in today's world children need a high school diploma to even survive. Giving a child the option to quit school at 16 is saying after their freshman or sophomore year, they've learned it all! They are still developing physically, mentally, and emotionally. By standardizing the curriculum, we should also be able to standardize the age limit one can quit school to at least 18.
