Thank God I'm in year 11

For reference the UK system goes as follows
Primary school starts at age 4, School years 1 to 6
High school starts at age 11, School years 7 to 11
Sixth Form (or college) starts at 18, School years 12 to 13

Also the problem with testing is that sometimes you are just getting taught how to take the test, not anything else practical or useful.

[QUOTE=Dr_Funk;21873606]Who gives a flying turd. The NAPLAN means crap all, anyway. Hardly worth judging the nation's education on, and hardly worth boycotting.[/QUOTE]

The point of the boycott was the acumulated time NAPLAN contributes at taking away from syllabus teaching, for exactly the point that it does mean crap all.

we have these in ontario (maybe all of canada? idk)

but we take them grade 3, 6, and 9. they're called EQAO. Education Quality Assessment Office. in 10th grade you also have to take an english literacy test.

the end result doesnt count to your school grades either.
