It's time for us all to speak out! These tests go too far. It's all about putting pressure on schools but the government have lost sight of the pupils and their needs. Ideology shouldn't be allowed to override pedagogy. To top it all the government is now saying that this year's tests WON'T be used to judge school performance! So what's the point?
