Abstract
A variety of alternatives to standardization are offered, and specific suggestions are made for a curriculum for human flourishing in a democracy, including the need to personalize learning, adapt it to the twenty-first century, develop critical thinking, include attention to the arts, sustainability, and cosmopolitanism, and help students to understand the nature of nature and complexity and strive for wisdom.
