Assessment

It's something that I've commented on before, but here is someone else's view on assessment in schools and colleges. It's written from an American point of view but applies just as well over here where every year brings another educational fad, another raft of pointless paperwork designed to make sure teachers are doing it the official way and another bit of Government nonsense that reduces success to a number and achievement to something that will get you next year's funding.

I know no one reading this is likely to be in the least bit interested but it would be nice if someone in authority took some notice.
