This paper needs a good edit in order to obtain some sort of structure and clarity. It could use a shorter title, too. But the point it raises is a good one: "Teachers and schools buying curriculum, is a 'billion dollar business'. Making a purchase in education is like buying a used car -- Buyer beware! Clearly a set of 'quality standards' are needed to guide the review of resources." But how, asks the author, do you convince reticent readers to offer reviews? A system whereby the reviewers assist the scholarship of education is needed, he suggests, as he describes some of the mechanisms that would lead toward such a system.
