On: A Middle-School Cheating Scandal Raises Questions ...

I posted a link to actual tests/curricula elsewhere in the thread. Please be specific - what is missing?

Your complaint that UK schools maximize the number of passing students is a complaint about the particular educational goal, not testing.

My understanding of the OA is that the school where the teacher cheated was under threat of closure unless test scores reached some arbitrary percentage. The existence of tests themselves is not the issue as you say.

Meta: could downvoters engage more?
