celebrated michelle rhee now just another incompetent busted cheater...,
Michelle A. Rhee, America’s most famous school reformer, was fully aware of the extent of the problem when she glossed over what appeared to be widespread cheating during her first year as Schools Chancellor in Washington, DC. A long-buried confidential memo from her outside data consultant suggests that the problem was far more serious than kids copying off other kids’ answer sheets. (“191 teachers representing 70 schools”). Twice in just four pages the consultant suggests that Rhee’s own principals, some of whom she had hired, may have been responsible (“Could the erasures in some cases have been done by someone other than the students and the teachers?”).

the counterproductivity of targets
Fear (2013), wrote:
I first heard Frans Leeuw talk about the "Performance Paradox" in relation to evaluation. Unfortunately I don't think he wrote about it other than a thesis by one of his students.
However, quite by chance I found some of the roots of it today.It seems that MarilynStrathern was one of the first to articulate this phenomenon in recent times. I like her quote for it's brevity.
1. "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."
- Marilyn Strathern (1997)
2. Goodhart's Law "Any observed statistical regularity will tend to collapse once pressure is placed upon it for control purposes." Also: "Once a social or economic indicator or other surrogate measure is made a target for the purpose of conducting social or economic policy, then it will lose the information content that would qualify it to play such a role."
- Charles Goodhart (1981).
3. The Lucas critique "It is naïve to try to predict the effects of a change in economic policy entirely on the basis of relationships observed in historical data, especially highly aggregated historical data."
- Robert Lucas (1976)
4. "A risk model breaks down when used for regulatory purposes."- Jon Danželsson (2002)
5. Campbell's Law: "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 is intended to monitor."
- Donald Campbell (1976)
