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.
