Looking at hard data gives one very small point of view. One moment in time that tells us something - but not the whole picture.
So much more exists in our day to day than reading, writing and maths. Children make gains socially, emotionally and metacognitively. Those unmeasurable qualities that make for the well rounded citizens we're shaping and moulding.
