What you have said about portfolios is interesting because we have had suggested a plan to make all our 17 year olds do a project which will be sent electronically to the universities as evidence of their abilities.  Apparently our young people are achieving such good results that the universities cannot choose between them.  I am quite glad that my offspring got through most of our education system before it got multiple-choiced from top to tail, as now seems inevitable, though she has been subjected to an enormous amount of assessment which seems to me not to have led to her being more educated than otherwise, rather to have caused a certain amount of stress and a narrowing of her focus to summative assessment.  There you go.
