Too many exams?
A few weeks ago I suggested to colleagues that our children were all being over stressed, trained like dogs for exams to tick boxes, that this wasn’t an education just a sausage machine and little else – and so we should look at how scrapping exams for under-16s and scrapping AS levels would work.
Blow me – the national exams sat by under-16s in England’s schools should be scrapped, a teaching standards watchdog has now urged: the General Teaching Council (GTC) believes the tests are failing to raise standards and placing “added stress” on pupils, teachers and parents.
I must be clairvoyant!
