Bye Bye Exams

How man parents and students realise that exams don't tell you how well your kid/you are doing in school??

Imagine:
Smart kid but lazy...
Does he have the knowledge? YES...
Does he have a high GPA? NO...

Smart kid, but English isn't his mother tongue...
Does he have the knowledge? YES...
Does he have a high GPA? NO...

Smart kid, but poor. He's pulling an all nighter at his
fathers store the night before his exam...
Does he have the knowledge? YES...
Does he have a high GPA? NO...

So, are we trying to test a students ability to answer a standard paper which doesn't take into consideration the different situations and backgrounds which children come from, OR are we trying to ensure that students are getting the knowledge?


The first picture for your eyes: The niece of the woman running a canteen. She got shy of the camera at the last minute.
