I think it's a five-year-thing... where the parents get worried about back to the basics stuff and then the new stuff gets bumped out. It's sad because there's some good in the new stuff... and each school system treats it differently with very few realizing how to integrate the new with the old again. I think this is a scare tactic that I've seen before but I could be wrong.
