i want to know that weather the syllabus of k-12 0f curriculam of USA
is different from state to state or is it different from school to
school?

Dear Rsratheesh, 

The curriculum is different between different schools and school boards. 

For example, a couple of recent decisions that have made it to
international news: teaching of evolution in the classroom. Some
religious groups oppose the inclusion of evolution in the curriculum,
because the contest the theory. Some groups demand that "alternative
theories", such as "intelligent design", would be taught as well.

In Kansas, the school board " voted 6-4 to adopt standards stating
that basic Darwinian theory - that all life had a common origin and
that natural chemical processes created the building blocks of life -
has been challenged in recent years by fossil evidence and molecular
biology. [...] The vote followed a sometimes rancorous debate about
whether the new standards promote intelligent design, which says an
intelligent cause is the best explanation for some complex and
well-ordered features of the natural world and which critics have
decried as thinly veiled creationism." (SOURCE: Derek Spellman, "'God
is not testable'", The Joplin Globe, 11/15/05

At the same time, school boards in other states teach evolution.

School boards are "A local board that oversees public schools.".
Usually they have the same policy and curriculum.

was extremely helpfull response except the fact that it overflew a
little bit.Now a days the information overflow and the person asking
the question  becomes satisfied and again confused a little bit.anyway
thankyou for the effort.
