        Scrap SATS - results don't benefit the child at all. Just adds pressure later. More work for over-worked, under-paid teachers.

        Teachers pay in England would be fair, but they're expected to work evenings & weekends too, planning & marking

        The government thinks experimenting with education is ok. It's negatively affecting students and teachers!

        it's mental to test 7 year olds anyway. They should be having fun and playing games.

        excellent. Testing children to check what teachers are doing is ridiculous at this age. It only creates anxiety.

        Why in the world would any 7 yr old need to take an SAT test? Most 7yr olds are just learning to ride a bicycle
