The majority of teachers say that the introduction of exams for seven-year-olds has resulted in stressed children, according to a survey of schools.
Standard Attainment Tests (SATs) are taken by Year 2 children at state schools during the summer term, but a Liberal Democrat survey of teachers and parents has found that many believe them to be unnecessary and potentially damaging to children.
The survey found that 80 per cent of teachers believed both their Year 2 and Year 3 children were stressed, while almost 100 per cent of teachers said their pupils showed anxiety about their schoolwork.
More than one-third of the parents of Year 2 children and more than half of the parents of Year 3 children believed their child to be stressed ? results which the Liberal Democrats say show that stress levels increase after children have taken their SATs.
Many of the teachers commented that a child?s stress was largely due to the pressure exerted by parents on their children to do well, rather than children themselves creating their own anxiety. The survey found that double the number of parents said they were more anxious about the child sitting the test than the child was itself.
Although it is recommended that SATs are taken as unobtrusively as possible so that children are not aware they are being tested, 88 per cent of the teachers surveyed said this was not the case and children were aware they were being tested.
The majority of parents of both Year 2 and Year 3 children surveyed said they were opposed to SATs and said primary education should focus more on learning through play and enjoyment.
One parent quoted in the report said, ?[SATs] are a daunting process for children that are too young to cope. Junior school should have more emphasis on play and enjoyment ? it is far too early for any stress.?
In addition, not one teacher surveyed said they felt the tests were good for their pupils. One teacher said, ?Some children are not developmentally ready for the pace and level of work we are expecting from them and we feel it should be the class teacher who makes an assessment of the child?s academic performance, not statutory tests.?
The Liberal Democrats are calling for SATs to be abolished for seven-year-olds. Phil Willis MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Education Secretary, said the government should take advice from teachers ?at the chalk face?.
?We are doing immeasurable damage to the education of our children, and to children themselves, through raising stress for little purpose other than ministers crowing in Parliament,? he said.
Mr Willis called for the abolition of SATs for seven-year-olds and said that individual skills profiles should be used as guidance for teachers instead.
?Stressed seven-year-olds are not something for our education system to be proud of,? he said.

Clay Shields, a professor of computer science at Georgetown University, explains.
Computers crash because of errors in the operating system (OS) software or errors in the computer hardware. Software errors are probably more common, but hardware errors can be devastating and harder to diagnose.
A variety of hardware components must function correctly in order for a computer to work. These components, like many things, age over time and can develop faults. Unfortunately, these faults are often transient, and can be hard to diagnose because they do not appear consistently. The system power supply can fail in this manner. Normally a computer's power supply converts alternating current to clean direct current. If it starts to fail, the computer can crash accidentally when the power supply generates a noisy signal. The random access memory (RAM) can also fail in an intermittent way, particularly if it gets hot. Because the values RAM stores get corrupted unpredictably, it causes random system crashes. The central processing unit (CPU) can also be the source of crashes due to excessive heat. The (often loud) fans on most common computers are there to prevent this type of crash, though they may eventually fail. The fans that bring cooling air into the case also carry dirt and dust inside. This dirt can accumulate and cause intermittent short circuits as the dirt blows around. Fortunately, compressed air or a vacuum cleaner easily gets rid of the dirt. Still other hardware problems that can cause crashes are trickier to identify and require software tests or sequential replacement of components.
More permanent faults happen with errors on a computer's disk. Each disk stores information in units named sectors. Most new disks come with bad sectors that occur in the manufacturing process and are marked at the factory. Makers expect this and include ample additional sectors to replace the defective ones. Sectors can go bad later, however, and lose the information stored on them. If these sectors happen to hold system information, they can cause a crash. Worse, a disk can fail completely when the computer gets jarred and the head that reads information makes contact with the disk surface. This may cause all data on the disk to be lost.
Although crashes caused by hardware are possible, most computer crashes are caused by errors in the OS software. The OS does more than provide an interface for the user to operate the computer. It also provides a consistent interface between applications and the hardware, and acts to share system resources between different programs. As a result, there are a number of errors that can occur. Perhaps the most common is a glitch that arises when the OS tries to access an incorrect memory address, perhaps as a result of a programming error. In Windows, this can lead to an error known as a General Protection Fault (GPF). Other errors drive the OS into an infinite loop, in which the computer executes the same instructions over and over without hope of escape. In these cases, the computer might seem to "lock up"--the system doesn't crash, but is not longer responsive to input and needs to be reset. Still other problems result when a bug allows information to be written into a memory buffer that is too small to accept it. The additional data "overflows" out of the buffer and overwrites information in memory, corrupting the OS state. These same errors can occur in application programs. Newer OSs are robust against application crashes, but in older systems application bugs can affect the OS and cause a system-wide crash. Modern operating systems are carefully tested, and tend to be relatively stable, but drivers that are added to the OS to allow the use of additional devices such as printers may not be, and are often the source of crashes. This is why most modern OSs allow for a special boot mode that disables loading drivers. The drivers can then be added one at a time to determine which one causes the error.
Because it can!
Most people are ignorant about how to reduce back pain and almost a quarter say they would rest to alleviate their discomfort ? widely considered the worst strategy of all.
A joint research project by the Doctor Patient Partnership and the organisation BackCare questioned more than 960 adults and found that 63 per cent had suffered from back pain at some point in their lives.
However, 61 per cent of respondents said that they do not exercise to avoid back pain, an approach that runs counter to advice widely endorsed by the medical profession.
In addition, 23 per cent said that if they had back pain they would choose to go to bed or lie in a prone position ? the worst thing to do, according to the study.
At the launch of a new campaign to encourage awareness of how to avoid back pain, experts said that people do not realise how much can be done to prevent and manage the condition.
Dr Simon Fradd, a GP who is chair of the Doctor Patient Partnership, said, ?Preventative exercise which helps to strengthen [back pain sufferers?] back or even normal activity which helps reduce the pain is the best prescription.?
Andrew Goldberg, a specialist registrar in orthopaedics at London?s Royal Free Hospital, said, ?People only pay attention to their backs when they are in pain and once this settles they stop looking after their backs, which is a big mistake.?
He added: ?We don?t get taught posture in schools and unfortunately the bad habits we learn stick with us throughout our lives.?
Back pain is estimated to result in 11 million lost working days a year and to cost the NHS, business and the economy around £5 billion annually.
