Can't really describe a journal can you?
#17
Whoever hates exams raise their hand.
*Raises his so much that his arm pops out of the socket*
I don't see why we need to have constant exams.
Then again, I don't see the point in studying an old geezer (Talking about you Shakespeare) who writes back-to-front and upside-down.
And again, I don't see why English is compulsary in year 11 and 12.

But anyway, back to my original part.
Constant exams cause a massive hassal and much stress for students. Doing this isn't 'preparing' us at all, its testing us. We should just all have one test at the end of the year, and the 'preparing' would be just revision homework by a set due date.
Then again, I despise homework with a passion and think exactly this:
Teachers can't put all their work and teachings into the class so they give them work to do at home and DURING holidays.
Holidays and getting home, you are supposed to relax, not do assessments, assignments, homework and all that.
Which comes a solution: have a 'free' period every day in which work is set to finish. Something like an hour a day.
But we don't realise it now, but we will miss school massively whence we finish.


But I still despise constant tests and homework.
And picky teachers.

Enough of complaining, time for...
Amazing fact #17:

Asessments suck... !

But its alot fairer than one big test at the end of the year, because what if your sick on that day, and perform less than average, thats y they test us multiple times along the way.

I'm guessing that's heavy surprised

You do if you take "study skills" at my old school...it was an elective. Also, if it was up to the teachers, they probably wouldn't WANT to give out homework because they have to GRADE all of it which sucks. But I think they give it to students to make sure that they know where the class is in that particular subject so they can adjust a lesson around it. But, I'll stop lecturing and agree. Homework DOES suck. argh...now I have to go finish it...
