Edit Reason: Phrasing

Of course School will be kept.
We do not necessarily need more Staff to trial people at the moment.
Trials will not be reformed again.
Being subject to individual opinion is not that bad.
To answer your first statement: I said it is "quite likely" because one Staff member may not be as harsh as the other. Idealistically, Staff members will ask similar questions as to what they did before. As I also said, I will ask about 2s complement, ask them to show me logical functions and their truth tables, and other generic questions to get an idea if the Testificate is competent. Hopefully the rest of the Staff ask similar questions.
Again, idealistically the standards will not change. The same questions that were asked before will be asked again. This is merely to force Students to become more creative and to explore other options, not just to get WorldEdit permissions.
The Staff team, as always, do not want the trials to be much easier than what we have set them. We still give our members highly trusted permissions, including everything within WorldEdit. Logically speaking, lowering our standards could lead to much a hell of a time fixing issues. We want to keep the user competence level high enough as to not make foolish mistakes. This has not always worked in the past, but it has done fairly well so far.
