I'm sick of people talking about the NAPLAN tests like they ****ing mean something!!! The NAPLAN tests are done on 2 days of the child's life every TWO YEARS!! They are a snapshot of what is going on for those kids on THOSE TWO DAYS!! And only in Numeracy, Literacy, spelling and writing. They do not take other KLA areas into account, they do not take into account that some schools make the kids sit practice exam after practice exam so they get a good mark on the day, they do not allow for other typs of intelligence that kids may have. If people had half a clue they would realise that the NAPLAN tests are practically meaningless except to tell you how your child and your child only is performing across those 4 areas. Anyone who chooses a school even remotely influenced by the NAPLAN results of that school is foolish.
