7.5 and above can be achieved now in Ielts exams and I have had 2 students achieved this level. The Chinese government has workedout that if they fail every student a few times no matter how good they are they can makemoney from their parents. If these poor critters don't give them enough already. This is not fair on the studentsthat study their butts off to have this done to both themand their already struggling parents. Yes something should be done about this type of corruption but what can anyone do? Here in China there seems to be a few different laws: law 1 is the government law where they can do what the hell they want and nothing is said. Law2 is chinese law where you do as your told regardless and law 3 students and FT's have no rights yet the students keep coming to school and we FT's keep applying for jobs to teach them only to have the government takeit all away from them and us. So I have learnt to just turn a blind eye and go with the flow.
