The big news this week was that students find exams stressful.
Teenagers took the Maths Common Assessment Task (MCat) exam, set by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA), last week, with many claiming it was too hard.
Consequently, we're told, there were tears and tantrums.
Since the alarming news, a few experts have laid blame at the feet of teachers for failing to properly prepare their students for the exam.
On the flipside, principals, teachers and school bodies have questioned NZQA and complained about the level of difficulty.
