Unrealistic demands for academic achievement by state and federal education authorities.
The public education bureaucracy answers to political masters. State legislatures, state boards of education, local boards of education, unions, and countless other organizations demand action to correct the continuing failings of our nation's public education system. In a word: it's all about accountability. As a result, students must take standardized tests so that we can compare apples to apples. In the classroom these tests mean that a teacher must achieve the expected results or better, or she's in plenty of hot water! So instead of teaching your child how to think, she teaches your child how to pass the test. No Child Left Behind is driving most of the assessment teaching these days. Educators really have no option but to produce the best possible results. To do that they must teach solely to the test or else.
