The NUT and the Head Teachers union has voted to boycott SATS. If SATs to you means the degrading of education - the reduction of teaching to little more than training; unfair league tables and much more - than you will want to support our teachers and Head Teachers in their campaign to end them. England has insisted on continuing with SATS.
Michael Rosen has started a Facebook campaign to support the teachers - it's a site for parents to register their support - parents' voice will be crucial.
Teachers will no doubt have to endure a media offensive that will try and break their resolve. Already, the BBC has been interviewing children in schools that have been busy training the children for the tests and have chosen to ignore the boycott. Teachers will need to know they have the support of as many people as possible - parents, student teachers and education academics. So, if you believe in what our teachers are doing let them know.
