Unlimited, continuous improvement and successes are the aims of the school and community. Lessons are linear, consecutive segments of one-way communication. Learning is like a spiral with offshoots, with energy directed toward continuous improvement. Focused solely upon results, without acknowledgment of their short-term nature. Grades and rankings are important in themselves.
Goals are important, but the process of getting to the goal is at least as significant.
Assessments are used for diagnostic and prescriptive purposes. Life, including schooling, is only worthwhile if you reach your goals. The process has little or no intrinsic merit, and must be abbreviated whenever possible so the goals can be reached sooner. Life is a journey, and has intrinsic merit if lived with a zest for life, love and learning. The system and its processes don't matter, as long as the ends are achieved.
