I saw your show in Reading recently and I was very grateful for the reasonable finish time on a ‘school night’! Really enjoyed the show - thank you!

Jeez. President Trump now calls Volodymyr Zelenskyy a ‘dictator without elections’ and says that he ‘better move fast or he won’t have a country left’ Trump really is Putin’s useful idiot

Trump calls Zelensky “a dictator without elections” having lauded Putin, a man who hasn’t had a free or fair election in years and who has prevented elections in Ukraine because he invaded.

It’s a fair point. I suppose it depends on the purpose of the test. If you want to assess if someone has achieved a certain level of education or not, I think it’s good that standards rise (e.g. nobody complains when Year 6 Reading SATs results improve).

Doesn’t that depend on whether your exams are norm referenced or criterion referenced?
