As someone who happens to be a University student studying teaching, I can definitely tell you that in my cohort, those who cannot spell and have poor grammar are the minority.
There also appears to be some disparity between the expectations that is AusVELS and what is assessed in NAPLAN. I've spoken to many proficient, highly accomplished and leader teachers already and they all agree that it is not truly indicative measurement of students in relation to what is taught. Furthermore, it serves as a distraction to the flow of teaching itself and acts as a deterrent to the desire of students to learn. While NAPLAN holds great implications for schools that reap flattering results, it is not without its issues.
Lastly, bosses are fun to drive
