All its done is make schools play around with the results by, and this is true, giving students answers, exempting all NEP students, and I even know of one incident where a principal rubbed out answers and corrected them.
Accountability doesn't even come into it
I hope you are not an english teacher - I even used capitals for the key word.
Yep start with the picking on insignificant punctuation. I was having a decent argument of why Gillard and her main claim to fame are no good. Obviously you are not. If I wanted to be picky I would tell you that English needs a capital, but why bother.
No, I was commenting on your comprehension of my post not your grammar or punctuation. You are still dodging - the website needs this information to complement other information to provide parents with objective assesments of schools.
I don't really have a problem with the overall concept, just that its about 1 test. Yes parents have the right to be informed but it is much more relevant for them to go visit the teacher direct and check their childs progress with a variety of tests and assessments throughout the year.
I wonder if we started a rank the politician website ranking their worth/achievements that they would be happy with the results of that.
Yes the teacher bashing has been going on for a long time
