LONDON – Revising for texts and exams can be a stressful business.
This week in Britain, 10- and 11-year-old students will be sitting their Year 6 SATs tests.
These tests – the final ones kids sit before leaving Primary School – have come under fire recently. A recent survey found that 90% of children felt a pressure to do well (and over a quarter of children surveyed described themselves as “stressed” by upcoming exams), while a parent-led campaign called “LET our KIDS be KIDS” kept thousands of children out of school for the day last week in protest.
