Should the Core Knowledge Curriculum be used throughout the School District?

Tom Ostrom's regular Friday appearance on Rochester Today with Andy Brownell included the discussion of the Core Knowledge Curriculum.

Ostrom brought up the topic by sharing information provided by a listener who listed the successes of the choice school at Washington Elementary School that utilizes the Core Knowledge Curriculum. Those successes have resulted in a long waiting list of students wishing to attend the school, which has led the school district to considering offering a Core Knowledge program as a "school within a school" at Bamber Valley Elementary.

Andy wondered why, with the academic success of the Washington School choice program, the Core Knowledge Curriculum isn't being used throughout the school district?
