Txt lngage in exams

It sms tht txt lingo is going 2 b accptble in our national education exams.

I don't get it. We are questioning the level of literacy we have here in New Zealand, and we are going to be allowing, a language of abbreviation, and short sentences into our formal education setting. I don't get that logic from the New Zealand Qualifications Authority.

So, I wonder...I'm going to study through Massey University next year. Can I write my assignments for my papers in text language too? They can't mark me down for it. I mean, if they allow it in the foundation college exams, surely at universities this would also be acceptable.

I think in a situation where we are in with mass amounts of dollars going into literacy programmes and training, this kind of allowance is not going to help matters. The real world dse nt tlk lk tht.
