Any teachers who are "teaching to the test" (which is really quite a misnomer, to my mind, but that's another topic altogether) are part of the problem, and any administration that allows this or caters to this is even worse. It's bad, lazy teaching - pure and simple. That's not the fault of the program, is it?
Can we all agree that there should be accountability in education just like in every other profession? Can we all agree that students' abilities should be measured as part of that?
