Und das dürfte wohl auch noch einige Zeit so bleiben. Experten gehen davon aus, dass Deutschland erst im kommenden Jahrzehnt wieder zur internationalen Spitze gehören wird.

That's right: a big fat audit of tax year 2002. I wouldn't mind so much, except for the fact that I've been getting at least three investigations a year for the past five or so years. And this one is a big one - all expenses for the year documented. So that means going back through every package sent and being prepared to document the postage, the recipient, the purpose, etc. Every train ticket, every meal bought for an interview subject, and so on.

Interesting and important to teachers and students. More interesting, perhaps, if we realize that underneath we have a question of social or distributive justice. I'll explain each below. First basic questions about grading; second a dissection of those problems in terms of justice.
