<p>Jym,</p>
<p>I believe that you have made the rational case for having no core curriculum. I disagree with your conclusion, but the reasons for not having a core, it seems to me, or those that you mentioned.</p>
<p>I further agree that the ultimate outcome of the current trend is that more schools will be tending toward “open curriculums,” even if only coyly or by some other appropriate name.</p>
