[quote=Anonymous] Once I tested a girl from Finland (English proficiency test). She was 13 years old (this was about 2 years ago). I had a conversation with her before we started. I asked her how her grades were in her previous school. She gave me sort of a weird look and said, "I don't know. That is for my parents and my teachers to discuss. The teachers write about us (I assume something like an analysis in the form of a narrative) and then the parents go to a discussion with the teacher. There are no grades as we know them. I certainly don't know anything about Finland, but this sounds VERY different from our system and it does not sound very "centralized". [/quote]
