About Me
- nickshaw
- I have been trying to develop and improve my everyday skills for living. My latest is learning how to correctly sharpen a knife. Other skills learnt recently are tying a tie, washing wool and making your own household cleaners.
Yeah I must admit I'm a little apprehensive about the National Standards myself. Are we really going to improve achievement by telling students and their parents that they are well below the national average? Standardised assessment seems a slightly odd way to address systematic disengagement and underachievement if you ask me.
