Exam problem?
I HAVE never understood the problem with school exams.
While accepting that questions may change in style, according to the times we live in, an exam in numerous levels is surely needed to suit children who are naturally of vastly different academic ability.
The highest level should be directed at an IQ of 160 or so. Children may then take a level as they see fit, at any age they see fit, from age 10 to age 16-plus.

Talking about children passing the O-level, etc., would then be of no relevance.
