Wow, the extensive grading system for books. I must admit, I don't know the current situation at primary, and secondary schools in my country (Netherlands), I know when I was in those schools (like 3 decades ago), we didn't have any actual guidelines or rules. In my final years of secondary school (high school), I had to read 20 literature books by Dutch writers. The tests were vocal. The teacher asks all sorts of questions about the story, the intentions of the writers, and how things in the story relate to the writer, or not. Why certain things happened in the story etc etc. After a few hours, the test was done, and a grade was given. And overall grade basically. I think the teacher used some subcategories, but I never received this on paper. That said, this was like 30 years ago. The world today may be quite different in our schools.
I see similar patterns as you described in our primary, secondary and uni levels. This makes sense to me as well. Primary and secondary schools are general education. Uni is education into a specific topic. I went the Beta route with much mathematics at Uni, so I basically had to understand concepts and formulas. Easy reading, for me at least 😂
Do you read literature, or more chill books in your free time? And did you get inspired by the books you had to read for school? I know, I was. I started to read much more literature when I was in secondary school. The Dutch language class opened a whole new world for me. The world of literature 🙇
