I have come to view the (high school) education system as a primitive punishment/reward feedback system. If you do your work, you get good grades, if you don't then you get bad grades. However, I've decided that if you go outside the classroom and find something interesting exposition that is concurrent to the school subject (eg, I wish that I had gained my current obsession with having at least moderately powerful speech habits while I was in my Speech class) then your ability to learn will be bolstered by having that feedback.
Oh, and I say "screw the tests". I simply don't worry about the nationalized tests and I actually have a hard time seeing why anybody would. =]
How much different were the schools when you were young?
