The only reason this one got picked up is because the bullshit was so egregious.
Not so. English was tossing large porkies around at Budget time which I recall at least the Standard and Cunliffe writing about, but which strangely enough didn't interrupt the handjob the media were delivering at that stage.

They're also the ones who generally don't need standardised tests to show that they're doing well, rendering the whole exercise moot.
No one does. Most teachers know their students' progress all too well.
The new 'standards' are to rank teachers and schools, that's all. But the govt can hardly be honest about that, can they.

That these silly 'standards' don't work for disabled students is merely a subset of them not working for anyone.
To clarify, they fail for the same underlying reason in both cases - by promoting a concept of "normal" that doesn't match reality.
