  1. And well done, Rahel. I am no longer taking part in that competitive culture. I have consciously opted out. And I am in a fortunate position to do so, others are not that lucky.

    And @heinz it’s a science that cannot and should not be applied to human beings.




  2. And how will we convince the rest of the world to stop measuring?
    I remember that my son wasn’t graded until 15 instead he got feedback and could say himself where he wants to improve. I was amazing to hear that a 6 year old child can already analyse his/her learning process.
