Thankfully my wife and I are nearing the end of dealing with the education system for our two daughters (one has graduated...the other has only two years left). Soon we'll be able to stop shaking our heads and rolling our eyes at the idiocy and surrealism of the system and say a few prayers for future generations of students.

I fully agree with what you say. Both of my parents were teachers, my father is still going strong in academia, and I would always hear stories about students and so on from them. Then it was a challenge to TEACH the kids. Now it's a challenge to make them pass the exam so the you keep your job... it's absolute BULLSHIT.
