Περίληψη: A National Governors Association report urges governors to make schools engines of economic competitiveness through public dashboards that align education with workforce needs. It defines four "readiness" areas--academic skills, job preparation, civic participation, and well-being--yet frames all through an economic lens, proposing funding systems that reward or punish schools based on graduates' income. Though it calls for moving beyond test scores, the report relies on CEO testimonials rather than rigorous research and overlooks evidence that high-stakes accountability narrows curriculum and harms teaching. By treating students and teachers as causes of economic inequality instead of their victims, it diverts attention from structural reforms and offers little practical guidance for improving schools.
