    Question One; Harry and ya’ll just leave school now and sign up at ‘Roys Classy Car Valeting And Detailing’. Make everybody happy.
    Question Two; Students have 100% zero interest in being tested. Figures, eh?

    A touch cynical, Bruce. I’m guessing that NZ went down the same route as the UK with the ‘no-one can fail’ philosophy. In my experience it didn’t matter a jot – the children all knew exactly where they stood and (for what it’s worth) there were alot (probably the more competitive) who loved a good old test!

      My last class (13 year old boys) that I was responsible for – the school had issued a decree saying that “Sport is for participation and enjoyment”. I announced to my class that sport was for winning and if you get second you are not the winner. That year my class won absolutely everything in every field, and there were parents clambering to get their kids into my class!
