to not want my six year old to be thinking about SATS?

[DrSeuss]

Her homework this week is a past paper. In Y2. Not even a "it's a SATS paper but lets pretend it's just some fun questions for homework." It's marked clearly as a SATS paper. She is now talking about the upcoming tests and saying that she hopes they won't coincide with her birthday.

I was a teacher, now I'm a TA. I totally understand why the teacher is doing this, it's a simple case of self preservation for her and the school. But I still hate it. :(

Ds came home with a folder of homework Easter 2017. There was 4 sats papers, worksheets and a revision book inside. That was his Easter holiday homework 😵

We did a bit on the areas he found hard and that was it. He did very well in his sats.

Now I don't agree with it, but it helped ds confidence and he took the sats in his stride, wasn't stressed and anxious about it as he had practiced.
