@JuliaHB1 so are you saying the tests are an assessment of teaching? If so there are many other methods for this. No need for baseline tests

@RogMcDonald no, the test is to see what kids arrive at school already able to do. From that, we can see what they achieve at school.

@JuliaHB1 but a teacher does know what a child already knows and what he/she needs to teach them. Why the need for a standardised test? -
@emsmort because we need an official record of it to assess if schools are just coasting and failing bright pupils, which many are. - 1 more reply

@Mycabbiemicky if Lewis Hamilton passes his driving test after two driving lessons, would we be right to praise his driving teacher? -
@JuliaHB1 He would then spend the next seven years watching the others not catch up while he is neglected from any real progression.

@JuliaHB1 Testing 4 year olds will provide inaccurate data. The same child sitting the same test another day, would give different results.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
