Nothing happens in a vacuum. With great power comes great responsibility - at some point billionaires can't blame their shit going wrong on other people if they were the more capable ones and clearly felt they were more capable when they set out to do this?

It is ironic that school reform efforts focus so much on metrics to rate teachers and "hold them accountable." Yet, when the school reform efforts themselves fail horribly, they suddenly tell us that the metrics don't tell the whole story as they rush to find whatever scapegoat they can.

"Accountability for you, not for me" seems to be the motto of the movement.
