We can't let our schools become factories. I'm all for accountability, but one of the first questions with accountability is: "what are you counting?" And for me, when it comes to school, SAT scores are not all that we should be counting. It's why I love playgrounds at schools and schools that realize that extra-curriculars matter and schools that realize the atmosphere and discipline and caring matter, too. These are many of the things that PTOs and PTAs are so good about bringing into and keeping at school.
