@jo_cb_ @bphillipsonMP 🤖 #testucation I don’t know any politician who has ever had the slightest interest in research. They prefer their own opinions. Correct me if I’m wrong 🫣

Ban the tests on 4 year olds! Diagnostic testing needs to be undertaken by teachers in informal class contexts. Stop taking away the power from teachers & stop meddling in matters that you know nothing about! Leave it to the experts: TEACHERS #UKGovernment #teaching #testucation

Do you know any 4-year-olds? Do you think they should be formally tested in English and maths when they first start school? Watch some 4 year olds in action and sign our petition: https://t.co/EWrjx2pqnt

A #testucation is rooted in white supremacy. Standardized tests entered schools in the early 1900s at the urging of eugenicists whose pseudoscience proclaimed white males naturally smarter. The tests have always measured proximity to wealth & whiteness—not intelligence or ability

A #testucation polices what is acceptable knowledge, leaving elites to determine what questions are asked. Training children to believe that wisdom is the ability to choose a right answer from a prescribed list, allows the testocracy to set the parameters acceptable knowledge.

A #testucation has many advantages over an education from the perspective of the #testocracy. An education invites students to question and critique, which can lead to a populace that asks dangerous questions, such as, “Why is the #testocracy is in control of education?”

Instead of a tool to assist teachers in assessing students, standardized tests have become an end in & of themselves. When any test becomes the goal of education, meaningful learning ceases and education is replaced by what I call a “#testucation.”
