Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

How long before the individual ranking would be made public under these new proposals?

Is this healthy for children, parents and society or damaging?

Lickettysplits,

Brighton - even Hove!

It's a measure, but pointless. Teachers can tell within a week if a kid can count or say the alphabet....

I know. I'm taking a break from the research I'm doing this morning. It's all still from bed though.

Problem is it's a comparative measure not an absolute one. So your child could get 85% in all their tests but still be in the lower half of the country. Doesn't mean they can't spell or add it just means they're not as good as other people.

And therein lies the potential to damage the child's desire to continue to learn.

Or alternatively encourage it if they're competitive. No matter what system we use there will be detractors and proponents. Education is an emotive subject on which everyone is an expert as they've all been to school. Sadly all the expertise is anecdotal and based on memory and personal experience. This would had worked for me as at my school I was only average academically however nationally I'd have been way above average. But that's personal and anecdotal therefore irrelevant to other children
