Stop SATs in 2017

Certainly something needs to be done so that those who somehow appear to think they know best are asked to face the actual harm they do to the mental well being of those in schools,children,teachers and parents....This is not about not being bothered about standards. BUT it is the way some people think it is OK just to pick a standard out of the sky and say,''That is the standard for today'',...No surprise that the so call National Standard for 2014/15 was in excess of 80% in 2015/16 it has dropped dramatically so were the children academically SO much worse than the year before....this is not what should happen so who takes the responsibility for this at the highest level in Government or do they wait to brush it under the carpet again.... AND then blame schools once again BECAUSE it can't be their fault and we need someone to blame....No wonder more Heads are saying enough is enough and leaving too early and that we are losing the next generation of teachers who we are training and they are leaving for other jobs or to work abroad...A fantastic resource we are losing....So sad for our children and grandchildren
