Amen to that Dave. In my opinion, this kind of pseudo-intellectual clap trap is designed for nothing so much as: 1. Keeping "expert consultants" in business. 2. Keeping parents on the defensive by creating the illusion that the education of their children is a highly scientific endeavor that is best left unquestioned by amateurs. 3. Contributing to the increasingly cryptoclastic bureaucracy that the schools have become. 4. Avoiding accountability through measurable means. Personally, when confronted with such nonsense, I take it that the speaker believes it is a miracle members of the target audience manage to get their shoes on the right foot every day.
