Your views: 'National rankings' for primary school pupils

Primary school pupils could be ranked against their peers across the country, under new plans proposed by the government.

We asked ITV News' Facebook followers what they thought about the plans and here is a selection of the responses:

This will help to improve behaviour in theory. It is better than how it works currently. The students I work with misbehave when they are bored because the work is too easy, or when they can't do the work because it's too hard. It will enable the teachers to actually teach. Now all they need to do is adapt teaching to learning styles and they've got it.

Is this for the kids or for the parents to put more pressure on them simply so they can brag about them in the playground and on facebook?

People need to stop protecting their kids from the world so much. People will judge you all your life and it's going to be competitive once they leave school with the few jobs available.
