In this article, the author states that it is widely thought that understanding, imagination, strong character, courage, humility, and generosity are the six virtues of the educated person. He stresses that today's schools are driven by a definition that says educated people are those who score high on standardized tests. This definition is useful--it can be used to hold teachers accountable--and that is why it is universally accepted in today's public schools. Public education policy makers believe it is of the utmost importance to hold teachers accountable for higher test scores. And, if "educated" is equated with high test scores, it is a matter of course that teachers should be held accountable for student test scores. The author argues that when test scores improve, which has happened in many places, what does that mean? Does it mean young people are becoming better educated, or better "schooled?" It all depends on one's definition of educated. (Contains 1 figure.)
