Grass wedges its way between the closest blocks of marble and it brings them down. This power of feeble life which can creep in anywhere is greater than that of the mighty behind their cannons....... - Honore de Balzac

I'm a 17 year old male and yes i do txt on a regular basis, however i cannot even understand the examples of txt languages that our local newspaper showed. Exams are a formal situation, therefore proper england should be writed.
It's crazy that good english skills are being watered down. I see so many people who can't spell or write properly..... barely printing really.
Lets just all drop our standards, then, when we under achieve, we won't be disappointed.
hehe soon we will all speak like this!

Pretty soon all the graduates from our schooling system will be as stupid and as illiterate as the NZQA morons.
Suggested taglines for a series of adverts promoting the NZQA:
"NZQA - Proudly Dragging New Zealanders Down to Our Level For 16 Years!"
"NZQA - Successfully Lowering The Standards of Education Since 1990!"
"NZQA - Making New Zealand an International Laughing-Stock"
"NZQA - NCEA 4 teh win!"
I'd seriously like to arrest everyone involved in the NZQA and charge them with treason - they have been acting against the interests of New Zealanders, and New Zealand as a nation, for years now but this last travesty is an act of outright warfare.
Round them up and hang the traitorous bastards.
It's bad enough that you have to be legally dead in order to fail NCEA, without them deeming that illiteracy should be the "industry standard".
Q: How many NZQA Accreditors does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None: they've redefined darkness as the "Industry Standard"

The principal of the school I work at told the students on Wednesday, that text language is NOT allowed in exams, only formal language should be used. He also said that the whole text in exams thing is a situation hyped up, if not engineered, by the media.

If my nose was running money, I'd blow it all on you...
Small wonder home schooling's becoming popular - New Zealanders are losing faith in the NZQA-butchered education system to produce educated, literate people.
When "achieving" a tertiary qualification entails reanswering the assessment questions you got wrong until you finally get them right - no matter how many times through it takes you - there is no "value" in an NZQA-accredited qualification.
Especially when most of the questions are multiple choice so at worst it'll take four attempts to answer a given question (unless your memory is really bad and you can't recall which answers you chose on the previous occasions).
I gather you're not allowed to tell people they've failed to achieve, these days, lest they become psychologically scarred for life and fall into a victim syndrome because of your oppressive and judgemental behaviour...
