ericthehamster discovered 7 weeks ago- I agree that the culture of constant testing is to the detriment of modern education. My 11 year old is doing her year 6 SATs at the moment (for her final year at primary school). Since January they have been revising, doing practice papers, and generally preparing them for a test which is meant to cover everything they do until the end of year 6 (which isn't until July). On that basis, very little new is taught for 6 months - that is a huge chunk of valuable time. I don't mean valuable time for more cramming, but generally exploring new and exciting topics. BH has become bored with a year which has been tedious and monotonous. Welcome to the Monkey House.

- If only the US population would open their eyes to the same truths about the testing here... lowest graduation rates ever... almost like the government wants their "subjects" to be less intelligent, and more dependent on the government to take care of them...
