Advantages: Gets the results

Disadvantages: Too stressful

Our education system is one of the best in the world, and its free, unlike some other countries, so based on just that, I think it is brilliant. But then you have others things to consider, like results, style of teachings, and exams. All of these put to gether and you will get one very stressed pupil. My child is now in year 9, and I am so glad that they have scraped the SATs for his year, as I can remember exactly how stressed he got when he had to sit exams when he was in year 6, and when he was only 11. Althoguh the standards of teaching has increased over the past 30 years, there is so much pressure put on students these days, and they are always being told that they must achieve the highest grades to be sucessful latter in life. When I was a child, the only exams I could remember sitting where the then GSCE exams, and they were bad enough.


Teachers these days push their pupils too hard, and I think that more school visits may help things a lot. Getting out of the classroom is a major boast to every child, and helps them a lot more than just sitting in a boring classroom for 6 hours a day. Im much older now and even that would bore me. Saying this, this method has proven to work, but my question is at what expense. Many teenagers dont want to go onto college as they think things will only get harder, which is wrong. Changes need to be made Mr Brown.
