We had a reform halfway through when I went to school.
From having had the kind of system where grades were based almost purely on exam results they started doing the continual assessment-thing.
Exams shows what you learn and that you learn. What the fuck does your willingness to pretend you're doing something in class, even though it's all fucking stupid, and you got it long ago have to do with what your grade should be?
Even worse was having to do stuff in groups. Bunch of idiots dragging you down, screwing up you rhytm and at worst trying to boss you around. Something about social competence, they said. And also something about how the old system favoured some male way of thinking, so now they remade it for girls. Cunts. And when we did have exams you could tell just blathering on about stuff, even though you could say what you needed with a sentence rather than a fucking story, increased your chance at a better grading if you wrote half a page.
In the end I adapted to it by taking charge whenever things were going downhill. I hate ordering people around.
If it's something like that what's going on at your schools...
Hippie scumbag idiots.
