"...the assistant superintendent of schools used to be a math teacher..."

I'm going to guess he/she wasn't a terribly good teacher if he/she does not realize how horribly disruptive (and useless) this is.

"only understands numbers"

Again, I'm going to guess he/she doesn't really understand numbers either if they don't understand that a bunch of worthless data isn't going to be useful (and again, not worth the cost of collection/analysis).

This could very well be the dumbest idea I've heard come out of education...and I've heard a lot of stupid #@! come out of Principals, AP's, Superintendents, and other "educational experts".
