The governor wants to hold students and teachers accountable for learning. Shouldn't he and the legislature be accountable for providing books, materials and facilities? What if every school were ranked on a statewide index--from the top decile to the bottom--on a single number representing the quality of the school facilities? Wouldn't the state government be responsible for improving the scores of the bottom fifty percent? Would it be called the "Opportunity to Learn Index"? Or the "Academic Prerequisites Index" (API)? We could have a STAR (STate-provided Academic Resources) program. Or maybe Students, Teachers And Resources as an equation for learning.
