Grind 'Schools'

    My parents want to send me to a grind school next year and I was wondering what the pros and cons are. I work hard in my current school but my teachers teach us to pass the tests not to get the high points I need. My school is a Deise school and I'm in fifth year.

    Your teachers are supposed to teach you the course, not to just pass the exam. They should cover things that are not on the exam.

    If you want to go to a place to just be taught how to pass the exam, then it sounds like a grinds business will suit.

    Be aware not everyone who goes to grinds places does well, even on repeating, but it's your parents' money, up to them to spend it as they wish.
