An "accountability" system is not going to improve anything unless the appropriate problem-solving techniques are first used to determine what the problems actually are, what the causes of the problems are, and then what goals would work to address each one. You can't just start with a baseless assumption.

I was at TWO schools this week where over 80% of students are not proficient in math (92% at one of the schools). The same week I had to listen to Silicon Valley types tell me all about the new innovations they are funding to track school data. I wanted to scream.
