Reminds me of when I was doing some student teaching at a local HS. The Regular Teacher reviewed the day before the exam with examples that were actual questions from the exam. While a bit strange, I was used to seeing that during Basic Military Training where everyone needed to pass to advance. What got me though was she was thrilled that 50% of the class got 50% of their exam correct. To her that was a big success. Granted this was in a state not known for high academic standards or success rates, but they were nowhere near the bottom of the list either. I was happy to know that this was not going to be my paid profession. Nor would I have been working in that state even if it was. Hopefully things have improved there in the past 40 years.
