Question: How is it possible to bring out every child's learning potential when there is the trend to standardize schooling across this country? -- Concerned
Answer: You are probably thinking about Common Core -- the new curriculum standards in English language arts/literacy and math that most states have adopted. It is certainly clear that these standards do list what children should learn in these areas. However, schools and teachers are able to go beyond this and add additional content.
Do not worry about these standards limiting children's learning potential. They place a big emphasis on critical thinking rather than repetition and rote learning. And with current technology, there is a wealth of opportunity for children to explore personal interests.
