err what? where did they say education was not important? i cant really see how replacing a word is going affect education negatively.


jims going off on some tangent about phasing out tests- SO WHAT IF THEY DO? we have tests regularly but the bmedsci students only have one set of exams at the end of the year- does that mean their education is being comprimised? like hell it is
comprOmised

what I was pointing out is that end of year exams are being phased out in exchange for tests throughout the year. It's much easier to pass a test every once in a while on the past month or 2s content than actually having to have a good bit of knowledge about the full year of work for end of year exams.

If they're going to stop using the word fail because it might upset some kids then it's only a short step away from phasing out exams completely because they're stressful.
