<br/><br/> "The federal government has based much of its education policies on those adopted in Texas. This book examines how "Texas-style" accountability - the notion that decisions governing retention, promotion, and graduation should be based on a single test score - fails Latina/o youth and their communities."--BOOK JACKET.
