There's a link to this article about the idiocy of standardised testing flying around Facebook at present. And yes, I agree: standardised tests are a form of idiocy. I never met a standardised test yet that gave accurate assessments of ALL children's relative ability- yet governments want to judge both students and teachers by them, in order to make major, game-altering decisions to education? Give me a break.
I have a few little anecdotes to share on this subject... you may find them enlightening too.
Advice and observations from a qualified carer and educator to help parents and childcare professionals maintain a loving, respectful relationship with their children.
