Again, it's that time of year when regular kids are coming home crying not to go to school. When they are so stressed they are vomitting with sheer worry. These compulsory exams got a lot to answer for. What happened to kids simply being kids. Instead the government (for their own purposes) think it's acceptable to put total pressure onto the kids and make them undertake gruelling exams. 3 days of them to be precise. These kids should be kids. Should enjoy school and not be shaped by some rediculous exam;

My children shouldn't have to worry about a silly test that has no reflect on them later on in life, it's cruel to see an 8 year old child worry and have sleepless nights over a test!!

Too much stress is being put on our young children with all these tests. I personally find it absolutely ridiculous. Our children's mental health is more important!
