It is very specific. It says quality, availability of curriculum instruction, materials and technology. That is not designing math courses. That is saying whether or not you are going to teach Euclidean geometry or some other type of geometry. One could come to that conclusion. If they wanted to get to the point that the Senator from Kansas had wanted to get to, which is to set a standard to make sure all third graders know multiplication and all eighth graders know algebra I, if they wanted to get to that, they could have done it without having to go to methodology.
