In “Exam Nation,” head teacher Sammy Wright explores the paradox of the modern education system, which pressures students with exams while simultaneously suggesting that poor grades do not determine one’s future success. Wright critiques the overemphasis on metrics and grading, which has become deeply intertwined with economic factors like government cuts and housing market dynamics. The book argues that education should be more about fostering genuine curiosity and personal growth rather than simply quantifying achievement.
