Anarchy!! We are talking about educational discussion and one aspect of education, namely assessment of 11 years old. Teachers aren't going to be marching on parliament elbow patch next to elbow patch!! Lol Listen at the end of the dayI accept everyones point of view and realise that inevitably anything that involves education is going to be in someway political. I don't think that boycotting the SATs is ideal for anyone, but if ultimately if the assessment procedure can be improveD (because even the government) acknowledges this, as they scrapped the Science SAT at the end of Y6 last year and SATs for 14yr olds 2 years ago) Then that can only be the sign of a forward thinking government and a progressive education system.
