It may be becoming results based. NCLB may be a metric that will lead to public education in America becoming results based. As for it not being run on scientific principles, that's part of being results based. When you invest in a company, you want to see growth and/or progress or at the very least a plan you believe is going to increase your investment over time. You have understood metrics to measure this. With schools what we'd like to see in unsucessful models being phased out, successful models that produce more people that go on to further educate themselves being promoted. Is this happening? Are "experimental" educational theories being tested and winnowed across America? Perhaps in home schooling. I think the educational establishment is dead set against some of these things. Our current public education system was designed to serve agricultural America. As I've said, much of the blame for the poor performance of todays students can be laid at societal conditions and the parents. But the schools have been too slow to adapt to the changing enviornment.
