I see. When schools are held accountable for what they’re doing, instead of improving the education they provide they kick out students who probably won’t do well on the tests being used to measure their performance. Makes perfect sense to me.
Oh—marvelous quote I found on the same site:
The true test of intelligence is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we don’t know what to do.
John Holt, How Children Fail, p. 165
