Petition update, 10 July 2008

More details from petition creator

SATs just stress young children out just so that league tables can be created. These league table often do not reflect a school's true standards especially in schools which have a large number of children who speak English as a second language. SATs are also only done in the core acedemic subjects meaning that talented pupils who are better at non acedemic subjects can get a big knock to their confidence. I believe therefore that these pointless exams on children should be scrapped.
