Test

It is an old an hackneyed problem. To test one needs to know what one is testing. the problem with public tests is that they are just that public, and means that schools perform like so many bloody infant-phenomena ballerina at a school dance. Which might be okay (after al this process is only slightly more random than flipping a coin, even if it is most expensive, but in its being a little worse than doing nothing is rather good for a government policy!)Te really problem then coms that no one can be aloud to fail (too badly). t which point the entire thing becomes utterly problematic as are forced to orbit not around 'objectivity' (whatever that is) but the crying political need to get a certian range of result from schools and pupil. exams and school, minster and journalists move off into a three way gang-bang and all claims not to be anything more useful are lost.
