National Testing

Have you seen all the articles recently about National tests and that teachers and the government are arguing about whether they should be removed. My opinion, having read all the articles on the tests, is that school basically stops when tests occur. This is due to the fact that teachers have no other time to fit in other lessons and these tests take over. It also stated that other lessons such as history and geography and the arts are actually being forgotten about. There is not enough time to fit everything in.

So far though nothing has actually been sorted. I won't hold my breath.
