15. The real question is why should Data Director determine what is taught in school?

What makes Data Director sacrosanct?

We're going about all this backasswards. Instead of deciding what our learning goals should be, and then figuring out how learning can be assessed; we're starting out with a testing system, and then only teaching things that can be assessed with that system.

THIS IS NUTS!!

And this is why my three kids all started out in public schools but ended up in a private school much like the one attended by Obama's kids.
