I've discovered a term recently that I'm fascinated by: "wicked problem"[1].
Could education be a wicked problem? We know that the students didn't meet the standards. So there is a problem. But are the standards too high? Are the teachers not doing well enough? Are the materials not adequate enough? Etc.
And we can't know what will fix the problem until we attempt the solution. And if the proposed solution doesn't work, we might not even know because the issue could have multiple causes.
