Many people have expressed disappointment with performance of the present K-12 schools. A publication from the National Academy of Engineering observed, ".... another $650 billion has been spent on US public schools while the performance of its students on standardized science tests of those about to graduate declined further." But who is answering the question of why results have declined further? I believe that we have here a syndrome that we often identify in corporations through system dynamics modeling--the steps that people are taking in the belief they will solve a problem are actually the causes of that problem, and the more they do in an attempt to remedy a situation the worse they make it.
