Note that the California frameworks are considered to be very progressive, and thorough, even by institutions that are outside the public school system, including home and private schools.
Can you expand on what you mean by 'progressive' here? To me, 'progressive' is a political word used to describe a particular viewpoint that is offensive to many. I don't think you meant it that way, did you?
If you look at the frameworks for just about any course, they're really quite thorough. The beauty of open source content is that a lot more creativity and variety can be placed around state-approved curriculum frameworks.
Yes, I agree with that 100%.
Also, I didn't mention this in my other email, when I said that if people are looking for a "Christ-centered" curriculum, then wikipedia texts aren't going to be right for them. However, it is worth noting that a solid Wikipedia foundation would provide enterprising home-school curriculum providers with a solid base from which to derive their own variants.
