1 Why do schools need standardized testing? Standardized testing holds teachers and schools accountable. Teachers and schools are responsible for teaching the students. Standardized tests demonstrate student comprehension. Standardized testing scores are public record. Schools with poor test scores are monitored more closely by the Department of Education to insure that they are effectively meeting educational standards.

Please be aware. First it started well. We had same carer, who was good in what she did and came on time but then came problems, suddenly that carer would not come and we would not get told anything. I had to start chasing up, phoning the office and then I would start getting excuses that the carer has been held up and is going to be bit delayed, I would wait then again I would have to phone and then I would get told, the carer has had an emergency at home so she won't be coming and then they will see if they can find another carer to send.
We found out later that our carer was simply sent somewhere
