Subject: [EARLY-CHILDHOOD] Petition against league tables
Early-Childhood
A petition has been organised to protest against the introduction of school league tables for five year olds. The text of the petition is as follows,
The U.K. government is proposing to begin publishing school league performance tables for England's five year olds on a school by school basis.
We, the undersigned believe that such an unprecedented development puts both young children and their teachers, parents and carers under unwarranted pressure that is distinctly unhelpful - especially for children at such a tender age.
We believe such tables to be divisive and unnecessary, and that they generate all manner of unintended and unforeseeable consequences that do far more harm than good.
Should you wish to sign it you can at http://www.gopetition.com/petition/41774.html
Best wishes,
Kevin
