"but I wouldn't say publicly knowing how you rank compared to others would constitute "cruel". Its really how the world works " This is not true. A) It's ludicrous to wrap 'personhood' and 'identity' out of how well someone is able to study and write arbitrary tests. Completely wrong. What if some kid learns better visually, than orally? And he's actually much smarter? What about the kids that are smart, but poor at taking tests? What about the kids who have massive advantage over others (i.e. tutors) - does that make the other kids dumb? 'In the real world' - there's no such thing as 'someone being better at taking a test' than others. It makes no difference in the 'real world'.
