The emotional violence of the accountability regime

[Euphoria]

1. This is one of the most cogent, spot-on

writings on what is happening under our current and now increasingly prevalent punishment system of "accountability". I use quotes because let's face it, this "accountability" is a code word crafted to promote/sell and obfuscate the true objective of these education-for-profit reformers. Their goal is to create compliant and emotionally disconnected educators AND students.

Somewhere between the fear of losing a job or the fear or not being able to succeed, both educators and students are now NOT involved in the process of education.

Thank you, HiPointDem for posting this and leading me to an awesome site addressing what's really going on in "accountability"-"reform"-corporate attack on education.
