"Waar de cijfercultuur overheerst, zijn leerlingen meer geïnteresseerd in punten dan in het leren zelf.Sommige cijfers dekken zoveel ladingen dat zij uiteindelijk niets meer betekenen. Hier en daar zien schoolrapporten eruit als heuse cijferlabyrinten. Ouders vragen zich af wat al die getallen willen zeggen. Leerkrachten laten soms cijfers uit de computer rollen die ze zelf niet meer begrijpen. Maar niet alle Vlaamse scholen geloven nog in de waarde van het getal. Of van het klassieke examen. Of het herexamen."

assessment-driven culture
http://www.teacherleaders.org/node/1012
In our assessment-driven culture, it’s refreshing to read a book that describes a multitude of ways to assess student learning in addition to the multiple choice questions and constructed response items we see in formal, high-stakes assessments. More so, this book stresses teaching for student learning, not just for performance results.

In the Netherlands kids tend to work on how low their scores can be so that they still achieve a pass.
In the Uk the higher the score the more chance of getting into university so passing with a higher grade is an end in itself, regardless of what needs or indeed should be learned.
