If you don't properly test how can you gauge IF you're getting better? |
Well if they can read fluently,write well,are numerically literate what more do you need to know? Teachers will be checking this on a weekly basis as they have ALWAYS done. You are behaving as if they will just be left to their own devices and the teachers won't be doing anything at all.If you don't believe me go and do some voluntary work in school as I did when my children were in the infants and juniors. Secondary school is early enough to start testing.As a secondary teacher all I ever required was that the children had basic skills like times tables,reading,writing,some scientific basic knowledge. After all there's plenty of testing done for the 7-8 years after the age of 11.
