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.
