KS2 Test Marking "Which of you shall we say doth love us most?" King Lear found out rather too late that coursework was a more dependable evidence base than this single level oral test administered when ready. And he learnt that words spoken are not as significant as values practised. Though no doubt even he might not, by Act 5, have had the sheer brass neck to claim that his earlier marking was reliable--as, we are told, the chief statistician has claimed about the disgraceful marking of this year's KS2 tests. Maybe the world of 'damned lies' breeds madness?
