SATS should be filmed, the children would be funny, I suspect the stressed staff even funnier ;) I make it my mission to tell every parent and child I can not to worry about them. This comes from first hand experience of Amy's school holding so many booster sessions in Y6 I think I missed part of her childhood. Then she gets to high school where they re-test them anyway! They are nothing but a league table for schools in my opinion and would be Number 1 on my ACE list lol. xxEveryday life at Number 38https://www.blogger.com/profile/12945846951398052455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101883877426552626.post-77896133859429324202019-05-20T11:35:43.294+01:002019-05-20T11:35:43.294+01:00That's SATs for you, isn't it.

The teachers know anyway.<br />I never was pro-SATs and am even less so as I get older.<br />xxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101883877426552626.post-10198517185333057662019-05-20T10:26:52.436+01:002019-05-20T10:26:52.436+01:00Don't get me started on SATs.

Waste. Of. Time. Is anyone in favour of them? Parents, teachers and children aren't. xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101883877426552626.post-55513809292275401232019-05-20T08:47:08.480+01:002019-05-20T08:47:08.480+01:00It's so sad how they try and herd children int...It's so sad how they try and herd children into boxes, your time would have been better spent teaching them the difference.

Causes havoc every year - for students and staff. <br />Teachers/schools are accused of 'teaching to the test and not the corriculum' - schools are assessed by results - some private schools 'choose' their students by merit - which means they get a higher ranking than local state schools. Lots of 'anger' over the program<br />Let's just say my children did well without it and all my grandchildren were 'brainy enough' not to be bothered by it.<br />It does however remind of the time growing up in England when I took my 11+ (1953) and still remember how petrified I was all those many years ago.<br />Take care<br />CathyCathyhttp://cranethie.comnoreply@blogger.com
