Dismantling the federal rules doesn&#x27;t dismantle the state rules which, whether or not they were in part designed to meet the federal requirements, exist independently. Nor does it, more to the point, rewrite the actual school curricula or transform classroom practices that were shaped by the system produced by the old federal rules and associated state rules.<p>This is largely an advocacy piece about how practices should be changed (focusing on what is viewed as negative about current practices); it makes as much sense to see it now -- when the federal rules allow practice to change -- as any other time.<p>Where is the weirdness?
