when he leaves primary? Or my oldest ds to know he's probably in the top 10%?
This is what the government is suggesting - that children are ranked into 10 ability bands when they leave primary.
I know how able or otherwise my children are - I read their school reports, I look at their SATS results, I talk to their teachers.
What will ranking them in this way do other than give them an overwhelming sense of failure or complacency?
AIBU?
To think it won't help me or ds to know he's in the bottom 10% of children
