Education Reform Made Simple: Accountability, Authority, Responsibility

Authority<---->Responsibility

"Authority without responsibility is illegitimate; but so is responsibility without authority. Both lead to tyranny." Peter Drucker

Authority<---->Responsibility<---->Accountability

The responsibility of educating the next generation should be accompanied by the authority to do so; but that authority requires accountability for the results.

Accountability for the results of educating the next generation is a major responsibility; but that responsibility requires the authority to achieve it.

If you want the authority, you must take the accountability.

If you have the accountability, you must have the authority.

...because it's all of our responsibility.
