Our esteemed Education Secretary has praised an academy in London which ranks pupils every term by their results in each subject.
Now I'm sure that parents of the kid who comes top will be pleased and proud, but what about the poor kids who are less academically able or who have SEN who are destined to by told term after term that they are rubbish? That their achievements, though they may be the product of hard work and great determination are of less value than a more academically able student who has slacked off and winged a good result on the test? How will that do anything but completely demotivate them and destroy their self-esteem?
What the fuck is he thinking?
If any of you have any respect for Gove as Education Minister, I sincerely hope that this changes your mind.
