Abstract
The term "accountability" refers to being "subject to having to report, explain, or justify" (from the Random House Dictionary of the English Language). Does this concept, when applied to educational settings, generate an "issue," namely, "a matter that is in dispute between two or more parties; a point of debate or controversy"? (Webster's Seventh Collegiate Dictionary) I submit that an examination of the document A Nation at Risk, along with the many affirmative and negative articles that have been written in response thereto, both in the affirmative and the negative, will indicate a resounding "yes" to this question (Bell, 1993). This paper will show that certain principles have been developed during the time of those responses that directly apply to improving education today and tomorrow. The discussion will be divided into three sections, based on the three questions posed in the title of this issue statement.
