..for me the worst part is taking out coursework completely on a lot of subject..I know that it will still be there in the art subjects but it just places more stress on young people at a very worrying/stressful time for them anyway and especially those who, exams aren't something they're stronger at, so they already build up that fear of them..and fear/worry is the worst thing to hinder a performance anyway...at least before they could rely on their course work, which could be excellent for a portion of their grades...
