cgksheff   44 #59 Posted March 3, 2009 The parental role in the success of a child's education is now understood to be critical.  This test is to assess the parents' abilities and will be used to identify those with little chance of advancement ... and efforts will be concentrated on those with parents with higher teaching skills.   ..and if you believe all this, what chance have we got?

But thats just daft. How can they assess the child on the parent thats teaching them? Sometimes I help my kids with their homework, sometimes my OH does. Now I`m a bit(quite a bit) of a dumb ass, but my partner is very intelligent(tries to pretent he`s not though ) so how can they use that?
