"...our accountability is not driven by a system of rewards and punishments; it is driven by an authentic system of accountability driven by making the work of students, teachers, and the school public."  

Putting grades on display?  Hmmm, sounds scary-I wonder if you can even legally do that?  This might work for a gifted and talented school, but a school where there are grades of all percentages, I just don't know.  My fear is that too much focus will be on learning the information for the grade rather than actually learning the topic.................GRADES ARE NOT EVERYTHING!!! Just saying.
