SHOCKED students from a private school in Melbourne's southeast were unable to complete a VCE exam because they had been taught the wrong text.

Settle down, Allan Strang (=p) no call for that.

But I would probably cry if that was the case with my school.

Seems like the Literature teacher can't even past Grade 2 English.

Yeah, that's shocking. I can't even imagine how I'd feel in that situation. =/

I am a bit surprised that no one noticed before the exam, though.
