Anyway – on the issue of national standards: as they are set up now they will not result in the weeding out of under-performing teachers, the improvement in educational outcomes (in a statistically significant way), or the intelligibility and objectivity of school reporting. Just another National party simple solution.

Has anyone read the sample reports on the tki site? Are these really significantly different to what schools provide today? And, why not just mandate PAT testing? The schools know how to do it and it’s proven – just not ubiquitous.

It seems many of those teachers committed to Labour aren’t passive about it, which makes them a valuable asset come election time. That could be as much a function of available time as level of commitment, or perhaps a bit of both.

National supporters – even those who are teachers – are invariably less motivated it seems.

That’s your question, Brett Dale, and the name of the school which you allege has as its highest requirement the ability to recognise the letter B, in your words, is important for us to know so that we can figure out whether you are being truthful.

BTW, the word is “which” and not “who” when referring to a thing, commas are not apostrophes, “their” is spelt like that and anyway should not refer to a singular noun and one question mark is usual.

Oh it’s in a good area by the way.

I just think after two years at school kids should be able to do more than recognize letters.

Unless you name the school, we can assume you are talking a load of shiit.
