Schools have data for everything, and there are companies that are standing in line willing to "help" schools create databases that offer one stop shopping for everything they need. inBloom is one such company. The databases that are being offered to schools contain test scores, progress monitoring scores, attendance rates, family information, IEP and 504 information, as well as discipline issues.
There are schools and state education departments that are obsessed with data. They think that numbers tell us everything, when in reality numbers only tell a small part of the story.
