3. Other factors such as language barriers, the schools chosen at random etc are also detracting from its findings

Its just a bizarre thing to put schoolkids through, no conclusions should be made. Literally nobody is making conclusions either apart from Jaxie lol. Nicola has literally never mentioned pisa lol.

Except I've already said that I don't know much about the validity of the tests, but I don't know enough to claim they are worthless either, and neither do you. Let's try hard not to misquote me.

What I intended to discuss was the information as a whole that was released this week regarding problems with Scotland's Education standards. I mentioned Pisa after someone said it was probably to get more free schools and I pointed out why would they want more free schools in the UK they are an EU organisation.

I already apologised to you for posting a link that wasn't the one I intended, I would love to see you be a bigger person one day and admit when you are wrong.
