A lot of the thoughts were triggered by the report that <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/10/24/2723083.htm">Year 12 students broke down in tears</a> because an exam question was in a different form from previous years. If they're that incapable of dealing with new situations, when the world is changing faster than ever before, we're in trouble! @John Larkin: My pleasure.
