It's all relative. In many cases, schools could do much better without changing the curriculum. Many schools supplement or superimpose mastery requirements on EM.<BR/><BR/>I don't confuse better and good.

Our district wasn't an early adopter, in fact, they just completed the third year of a five year plan for EM. It's not going anywhere soon. The middle school doesn't fare much better with CMP2.
