.......then they shouldnt put such pressure on the kids if they are confident in their own ability to teach?
DD is in a right state about her Y6 SATS. She has had it right left and centre from her teachers (3 on a job share, dont get me started on that). I have read here and other places that the biggest issue with SATS is that the teacher gets appraised on the results.
So if they are good teachers and are confident in their teaching abilities then they shouldnt be making such a big deal out of it? DD is gifted (she has been assessed as such) and yet her nerves mean that she may well have terrible results. Surely the teachers dont want that?
AIBU to think that if you are a good teacher you dont need to pressure the children you are teaching to the point of abject fear?
PS. I have six kids, only one is gifted, before I get jumped on!
