"Las notas hay que sudarlas"

The Department of Education just keeps pushing and pushing, until the education is going to be a total mess. With this way of calculating the test scores, the students are not going to get better, just worse. I ask myself, "What about the students who have slower learning abilities or get nervous and do lousy in tests even though they know the material; or the students who do great in presentations because they learn better that way??

To me, it's like the Department of Education is a scientist and the students are the guinea pigs; they keep experimenting with them to see if something positive comes from it. All of these changes just creates a lack of interest in teachers, students and the parents, because the grading will so strict, that the teacher cannot offer a point or two for their hard work. Where is the justice in that?
