Testing pressure condemned by MPsTesting pressure condemned by MPsAn over-pressured school testing regime in England #xis underTruck Cover Chinafire from MPs, as hundreds of thousands of 11-year-olds begin taking their "Sats" tests.Barry Sheerman,DVD Ripper, who chairs the Commons schools select committee which has investigated the issue, sees "something wrong" in the amount of testing.The testing regime in England, with its national tests and school league tables, seems set to face further criticism from the committee of MPs, when its report is published on Tuesday."There's something wrong with the amount of testing and assessment we're doing, the quality of testing and assessment we're doing, and the unseen consequences of that testing for the whole school culture," said Mr Sheerman."It is still a culture where the success of a child, of a teacher, of a school is linked to testing, testing, testing, that is the problem," he told the BBC's Panorama programme, Tested to Destruction.But Mr Sheerman also raised doubts over a possible replacement for theTruck Cover Chinatests - "single level tests" - in which pupils would be assessed when their teachers thought they were ready.Rather than lifting the burden of testing, he warned that they could make it "ever present in the atmosphere of a school".There have been many complaints from teachers' organisations about the national tests, introduced by the previous Conservative government and retained by Labour when it entered office in 1997.This spring brought claims of over-testing and pupil stress from several teachers' unions.Reflecting such opposition to the Sats tests, Frank Bunting, a teacher from Phoenix Primary School, Liverpool, said: "I dislike them. I resent them. But more than anything else #xI resent theTruck Cover Chinaleague tables that go with them."相关的主题文章：
