I think all this is just a big cover up for making sure all kids perform as AVERAGE in the end. Those ahead will lose points for redundant work. Those behind will gain points by doing the redundant work. It all confirms that schools want the kids to perform at the same level ... this is the perfect way to balance out the kids' results!

And personally, I prefer vertical staples close to the edge ... make it easier for me to make photocopies without taking out the staples or tearing the papers!
