Stop testing children on times tables, lighten up on grammar teacher’s unions tell ministers

Times tables tests should be scrapped and grammar exams “stripped back”, teaching unions are urging the Government.

Ministers are being urged to cut down the number of tests in primary schools, which unions say lead to high levels of anxiety in children.

Tests on times tables are compulsory for all Year Four pupils at state schools in England.

Teacher’s Unions are dedicated to making children stupid.
