BBC News - Sats 2023: KS2 reading paper revealed after row over difficulty https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-65624697 looking at those examples i think the teachers are not giving the kids enough credit, the answers were pretty straightforward unless you are really thick??? are you? i would like to see the percentage of children that got those 3 examples wrong?? the answers seem plain to understand at 10 years old.

So you don't think that after months of it being drummed into them that "there is only one correct answer", they then open the paper, and it turns out there are actually two, could confuse a 10 year old child?

Or anything, for that matter It's alright folks, a load of teachers and the TES say the paper was tricky but Random Letters Random Numbers off a forum with no qualifications says it was easy peasy. May as well lock the thread. Edited May 18, 2023 by HeHasRisen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister M Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 So 10 and 11 year old children are upset and stressed about exams, and some people find this cause for gloating and celebration. What is the matter with some people? Are they that unhappy that they have been reduced to this? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeHasRisen Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Come on, are you expecting people to believe that a school would have sent a teacher to watch someone undertake a SATS test at Manchester (?) Airport of the morning of a flight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
