Same here in Germany. We got more and more standardized tests and curricula (it mostly started after I left school) and the teachers I really respected seemed to become more and more disillusioned and annoyed by the changes.
My personal opinion is that good teachers make bad politicians and thus bad teachers (or even better, people who never were teachers) make the rules.
