Editorial Parents stumped by NAPLAN test

Media campaigning against cheap, effective tests are not new. NAPLAN is such a test, being straight forward to mark and providing important assessment data which allows government to track student achievement from years 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9. The results could also be reverse engineered to track teacher performance, but unions won't allow that. The results allow schools to target weaknesses in student learning, and for government to address needs of schools. The results have no bearing on subsequent employment achieved by students in life.Show more

Here, a question that 'stumps' adults is a two card trick. The purist view is that commas are not employed to separate phrases in a sentence, where they might in practice. Or, where they might, in practice. The math question is less of a challenge. One day, the illiberal press will achieve the end of having this eleven year old test removed. The loss of analytical data won't achieve further dysfunction. Just as COVID did not create election fraud.
