League tables which rank schools based on raw test scores are bad for students, schools and education.

Naming and shaming schools that don't get high marks in the tests is devastating for those school communities and makes it much harder for students and teachers.

Already in 2010 newspapers in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and the Northern Territory have published damaging league tables using data from the My School website.

The Education Minister Julia Gillard says league tables are misleading and make the job of teachers harder, but so far she has refused to act.

Only by working together can we convince the Federal Government to take action on this important issue.
