Assessment supports Learning?
Isn't assessment supposed to support learning from 3-18 in Curriculum for Excellence? How do we square that with a system that has all S4-S6 pupils abandoning any pretence of learning from Easter until the beginning of June in order to prepare for and sit the SQA exams? I don't see anything in the documentation about the senior phase that suggests that anyone is planning to deviate from this age-old model of qualification by exam. Nor do I have any alternatives to offer! That is all.
