Test-based accountability is examined as a dominant policy framework in American education, despite its clear shortcomings. The book explores the persistent belief among many Americans in the necessity of accountability, even as educators and policy scholars express skepticism. It delves into the reasons behind the lack of alternative frameworks and the ongoing debate surrounding the effectiveness and implications of accountability measures in the educational landscape.
