Just like maths exams make you show your working, make all exams require the same process. When you find a kid who can flawlessly regurgitate the correct answers but cannot explain why they are correct, you fail them. I wouldn't touch the sites though, let the lazy ones fool themselves until they fail their first few exams in spite of having the right answers.

Or at least they tried to make that connection. I was thinking that here it is going to be played again with a slightly different theme. When I finished reading it, it had by that time dawned on me that wasn't going to be the case. Instead, allow me to congradulate you on the concern your are showning for your childs education and the responcibility you have willfully shouldered to do so. Much of what is missing in the world is being demonstrated by your parenting skills. In this day it seems that parents want the schools to raise kids. That is until it comes to punishment. Then all of a sudden Little Johnny shouldn't be subject to this. The results of this attitude can readily be seen when you go into a store, there is momma looking over this or that while Little Johnny is running through the store, tearing into this and that. Leaving what was interesting on the floor for some store employee to pick up and put on the shelf again. Even worse the momma will get outrageous self-righteous when it is mentioned that her kid is out of control. The kid seems like an afterthought drug into the store because momma can't be bothered. Go to the theater and there is Little Johnny right down front with the rest, running around whopping and hollering with the other kids. Don't you dare have the audacity to complain they are harming your viewing experience. Momma has no sense of what babysitters are for and it will be your fault for daring to mention how uncontrollable Little Johnny is. After seeing some of this in action, give me the No Children area instead of the No Smoking area.

I hate it when I read stuff like this. How can universal access to information have a downside? The schools just need a new "business model", like the RIAA/MPAA etc. p.s. i'm worried about this software they mention... i hope they open source it!
