Outcries from enraged citizens in Gaston County have been so b that their entire Odyssey program may possibly be scrapped as a result of loss of funding from their major supporter. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has been involved in the development of OBE over the longest period of time and seems to have achieved the highest level of development to date. These were shortly reduced to 55. All students understand and appreciate their worth as unique and capable individuals and exhibit self-esteem. All students relate in writing, speech, or other media the history and nature of various forms of prejudice to current problems facing communities and nations, including the United States.
All students make environmentally sound decisions in their personal and civic lives.
These changes have largely been the direct result of resistance organized by the Pennsylvania Parents Commission. Grassroots opposition to OBE has probably defeated efforts to implement it there or at the least will have resulted in major modifications of the original proposal. The experiences of parents in Pennsylvania can be of valuable assistance to parents opposing OBE in other states. The issue of choice in education is once again very popular. Although those who support OBE have probably never considered using choice for their own ends, it would be very easy for them to do so.
