Because of my recent stint with the North Carolina Education Alliance, as well as my strategic acoustical office position — readily in earshot of Karen’s office — I have been privy to numerous complaints over the K-12 education system. Rightfully so, I might add.

Maybe I’m just naive (which isn’t hard to believe, seeing as how I think the Sox will win in New York tonight), but after reading this article in the Kinston Free Press, I can’t help but think, doesn’t it just make sense to question the method of evaluation for determining how well a school performs before we attempt to fix a problem we don’t even understand?

Honestly, how can anything that is supposedly evaluated objectively be both a success and a failure?
