| Read a Post for The Paradoxes of High Stakes Testing: How They Affect Students, Their Parents, Teachers, Principals, Schools, and Society | | | | Reply to this Post | | | The Education Unaccountables | | Posted By: Dick Schutz on July 21, 2009 | | | Not only are test publishers unaccountable in the el-hi enterprise, so also are test publishers, academicians, and all governmental authorities above the school site.

There is psychometrically-sound methodology available to credit instructional accomplishments, but prevailing achievement testing theory and practice provides a fog that protects the unaccountables and maintains the status quo.
