    If measurement results in ruination, the problem due to the standard of measurement, not the process itself. Grades, student motivation, staff motivation, or any measure of success are still measurements. To say a school was good before measurement requires some form of measurement done before the supposedly ruinous measurement.

    You're not wrong, but I hope I didn't state it quite so absolutely. If the standard is quantitative and throws out the intuitive or qualitative, it can't possibly succeed beyond a very narrow and specified range. Education is not a narrow and specified task, so the quantitative measures have to be subjected to higher order thinking. That is my main point. Also that as a matter of historical fact we have ruined education through our standardizing of the measurements. Whether that is because the standards are not adequate or because quantitative standards arise from the wrong category of being is large question, but until the right standards have been discovered we would do well to be more modest in our use of the inadequate standards.
