| Description: |
This title discusses the role of high schools, now the key institution in the schooling process. For low-income young people these can be "make or break" years. Students who excel have the chance to continue on to elite universities which increases their chances of future financial security. |
| Synopsis: |
"Standard-based accountability" has become a consistent buzzword emanating from the mouths of hopeful politicians-liberal and conservative-for almost twenty years. But does accountability work? The New Accountability explores the current wave of assessment-based school accountability reforms, which combine two traditions in American education-public accountability and student testing. |
