The biggest news in American education in at least the last few years is the current push toward nationwide standards in English and math. It's not happening through federal legislation, but is rather a voluntary and cooperative effort led by the governors and education chiefs of many states. Forty-eight are already on board; Texas and Alaska are the only exceptions.
Everyone, absolutely everyone, should be interested in the content of these new standards because they will be in effect for nearly every child in the country within a couple of years. The current draft is here: http://www.corestandards.org/Standards/K12/
