Dumbing-down in Polish schools and the Matura

Polish tests are very difficult ( especially on extended level ; without tutoring it is impossible to get high scores ) and today is the day when the scores are revealed , finally .
All this big fight to get into uni and then dubious salaries. I'd dumb it down too to alleviate the burden.
Merged: Should Polish matura exams contain controversial texts?
Perhaps I'm just old-fashioned, but I think that it might have been wiser from a language point of view to choose a reading comprehension text for the matura mock exam that was less controversial than one propagating the view that work is the best thing in life while love and especially kids simply get in the way.
I mean, it is a widespread (though exceedingly boring) outlook on life, but perhaps irritatingly marginal texts should be eliminated from exams.
Doubtless there will be an internet link for this sometime soon - only happened this morning.

Not a bad idea for a text. It'll make them think.
