I do not see how this is any diffrence than the
current system.

When I went to school there were some teachers that
scored tests by starting at 100 points and taking
points AWAY, others started at 0 and ADDED points.

I guess one method could be said to be positive and one 
negative but I don't think many of the students 
were fooled into thinking these were any diffrent.
