10 reasons why we SHOULDNT have exams:


1. It kills your self esteem if you do badly.
2. It kills trees.
3. It kills hope.
4. Everyone learns at a different pace. we, the students are spoon fed that amount of info whether or not they can swallow it or not. That's unfair.
5. Its a bad gauge. eg. The student can be sick on that day, or recently suffered a bad blow.
6. It creates sickness. eg. The students study so much to the extent that they neglect their own health. See, CCAs are put to a stop because of the exams. PROOF!
7. Students are put under a lot of pressure to the extent some may get a nervous breakdown.
8. Peer Pressure. Havent you realised that exam period is the time where friendship problems occur MOST often? Why? Because human nature states that we are GREEDY. So we push others down to gain a better head start for ourselves.
9. Teachers are stressed! From the marking after the exams AND the setting of the papers before.
10. Last but not least, Students are not learning for the sake of learning. They are learning for the sake of the exams. Which isnt a gd gauge. Please, Isnt there another way to test a student's ability and understanding?
