Government ministers were really dismayed last week when they were forced to abandon the new baseline tests for schools as they were not fit for purpose.
Bloody Fortune
“It’s a shame that no one in the teaching profession pointed this out sooner,” Department of Education spokesperson Joseph Likkiball, exclaimed angrily. “It has cost a bloody fortune to set up and administer these tests, only for us to discover that they were no good.“
Disgusting
“In a few weeks students are due to sit them,” he continued. “Teachers are disgusting, putting their students though this.“
Three Providers
The new baseline tests are supplied by three different providers and are completely incomparable with each other, focusing on varying methods of assessment. The Department of Education, bizarrely, decided that these incomparable tests could be used to compare the performance of different schools.
So called ‘Teachers’
“A 5 year old could have told us that you can’t compare schools using tests that can’t be compared,“explained Mr Likkiball, the man who signed off the idea. “How come these so called ‘teachers’ didn’t notice it and tell us?“
Teacher Laura Lostwill told the Druid’s Loom, “I have written to my MP, and phoned up the Department of Education explaining my concerns and____“
“Oh Shut Up!” Mr Likkiball interrupted. “We don’t give a shit what you think, you bloody leftie!“
School Readiness
Once he had reduced Miss Lostwill to tears Mr Likkiball continued, “We are now going to replace these tests with a new assessment system. We don’t what it’s going to contain, but our marketing department has thought up a really great name – the ‘school readiness’ test – cool eh?“
