Testing of schools stressing our children and lessening their education.

MP's have at last got round to listening to parents and children, with the eventual dawning that the system of national curriculum testing in educational establishments is having a poor effect on our children. Obviously the fact that regulations had ensured that teaching was narrowed down to reach the goverments test results (teaching to test is bandied as the term)and not to ensure that all children had the most benefit from practical education, seems to have been a shock to them. The fact that people seem aghast that children are leaving school without real preperation for University, college or Employment, it almost seems like people havent been to school because it hasn't changed that much in the last couple of decade's. One of the questions should perhaps be do you really think that the colleges and universities are any different?

Members of Parliament arent throwing the school child out with the bathwater, though, saying that a altered form of checking should be put into place where the accountability of the school would be partitioned from the system of pupil testing (I don't actually know how that is possible as it will always come back to how well the pupils are doing within the classroom, which almost instantly makes the school managers look for a way to allow their school to do better in the test). Schools do need a form of monitoring but maybe they should be looking to the algorythms of Google and how they give ranking to sites than a clumsy administered process that is open to manipulation, at the expense of our children.

UK Boarding schools and Independent schools uk are some of the best in the world.
