You might want to read this excellent article by Roger Schank on accountability and the No Child Left Behind Act. It’s called Hooray For The Democrats! Hooray For More Accountability!
The headline is an exercise in satire.
Accountability?

I was Roger’s technical director for a brief time in the early 90s. While we had quite a few different ways of seeing things, I learned more from the Professor than most others I have encountered.
I enjoyed seeing this as I myself have recently written on accountability and my distaste for the very word. Maybe Roger still rings true. Had not seen this though. Wish I had. Would have written a better post…though I think I did link to Roger in a recent blog if not this one.
Your blog is excellent and I have tumlbr’d a lot of pages from it. Thanks…

Ryan,
Thanks for your comment. I took a quick look at your blog, and was impressed. I’m planning to look through a little more carefully over the weekend.
