What tests can show - Nowadays, the results are very important for deciding whether pupils are in the right class. They can also tell teachers whether pupils are particularly talented, and may need a higher-level class to challenge them. On the other hand, test results can also tell teachers whether pupils may need some extra help with their work, Discussions – should we test pupils? - Fashions in education seem to change with each generation. Recently, people have talked a lot about the testing of pupils in schools. For example, they talk about how often pupils should be tested. There are also questions about what subjects to test, and how teachers should use the information they get from the tests., Can all subjects be tested equally? - This all works very well for areas of the curriculum that are easy and straightforward to test, like English and Maths. But what about other skills that aren’t so easy? They may still be very important in pupils’ lives.ccc, Which skills are important - Things like being creative are certainly essential for certain jobs. Being creative is also important for your personal well-being. Lots of people do things like story-writing or painting in their spare time. This helps people to relax and feel better.

This is partly because they don’t agree with the testing.
