Abstract | In this article, the author talks about the school's moral responsibility and illustrates the extent that a K-12 school and its staff are responsible for its students' economic success. All school reform is based on a relatively simple model: an intervenor (the reform agent) produces change(s) in certain school variables to cause a change in certain student-outcome variables--in the case discussed here, a student's occupational fitness. The job market is a major influence on student occupational outcomes. It is an economic system's job market that defines the purposes for which schooling outcomes count as "human capital." Here, the author stresses that the perplexing question is not only why educators, schoolteachers in particular, are supposed to have major responsibility for student occupational outcomes, but also why many educators themselves are so eager to accept blame for failures beyond their control.
