"have just announced that they will be scrapping the twice yearly assessments in reading, writing and math. It must get so tiring misleading parents like this all the time. So obviously that's not what Labor said. Labor would cancel mandated testing, which is specifically the SMART tool. Not all assessments and not all reporting, not teachers knowing whether kids can read. Just that specific mandated tool. Stanford immediately turned this into, Labor wants to remove mandated reading, writing and maths assessments. SMART tool is not a flawless loved assessment system that every teacher in the country loves. Teachers have actually called it inaccurate. The AI has been caught giving students the exact same mark when they wrote the same number of words. Principals have said it's not fit for purpose. Treasury warned her that they shouldn't bring it in this year and she went ahead anyway and actually less than 60% of schools have signed up to use the tool. And it's costing us $85 million over the next five years. But when Stanford says Labor wants to scrap assessments, what she actually means is Labor wants to scrap my specific rushed overseas built AI powered teacher rejected Treasury warned against tool. But that doesn't sound as scary. She's out there telling everyone that Labor wants to scrap assessments while she can't even produce the writing results that she promised would be available four days ago. She has the audacity to accuse others of not caring about assessment."
