Interesting...I wonder how that would work here in the US?

It wouldn't

interesting idea, but for the system, I don't see it working. Here teachers are pushed to get high grades for their students on the FCAT

they only teach what is on the FCAT during the year, so forget about understanding why & how things are done (math & science) & just get

the end results. It is not helping the kids & colleges are having to pull extra duty to re-teach
