To all the teachers telling me that they already KNOW which kids can't read well: why do you leave so many children to fail at 11 then?

Amazing how many writers of good books for chn don't have the foggiest about how to teach them to read in the first place :(
-
amazing how many great authors went to top private schools so never experienced this issue
-
And the parents of those who went to public schools and did experience difficulty were quietly asked to take them 'elsewhere'.

teachers know their kids individual abilities! Continuous testing is NOT needed!creates probs not solves
-
then why are there still so many people that can't read even as adults
-
because of school targets, league tables and constant meddling with systems

@JuliaHB1 This isn't the purpose of the tests he's referring to. Even the DfE is clear that these are about accountability for schools. -
