David Berliner discusses Campbell's Law and the affects it has on education and the corporate world. The “law” says:
The more any quantitative social indicator is used for social decision-making, the more subject it will be to corruption pressures and the more apt it will be to distort and corrupt the social processes it was intended to monitor.
It’s an important critique of the use of standardized tests in schools for teacher or student evaluation.
