Let's teach our kids what they need to know. Then test them to check they do actually know it. Yeah, that way madness lies.

@JuliaHB1 Kids born in August vs kids born in September don't need extra help. They need freedom/time to develop without 'failing'. -
@ThornfieldHall@JuliaHB1 Education is not about "freedom to develop without failing". It is preparation for academic excellence. -
@Watchergotcha@JuliaHB1 Sad...education means to lead out...even the less capable. Academic excellence is limited measure of achievement. -
@ThornfieldHall@JuliaHB1 You instil what you can, to each pupil. Schools are not nursery play time until university. -
@Watchergotcha@JuliaHB1 'Instilling what you can' is a pathetic objective. Schools should be preparing for life & job market. -
@ThornfieldHall@JuliaHB1 Indeed, that is what I am referring too. You seemed to be suggesting that's those "less capable" need a time out. -
@Watchergotcha@JuliaHB1 What I said was kids born in Aug should not be expected to achieve same as Sept born at KS1. Signif developt diff. -
@ThornfieldHall@JuliaHB1 Which they face at every test later in their lives, should we make exception for them at GCSE? Job applications? - 4 more replies
