@pluralistic@mamot.fr there are attempts at some sort of commons at least for college (which is another can of worms) and some attempts to get this to the schools. However with different states having all kinds of different standards (NGSS and other national standards notwithstanding), it’s tough - and pushes the onus on to teachers a lot. A lot of this is piecemeal supported by foundations
