School

School, the bane of many young people existences. I for one, find school okay. But there are some things many of us students would like to change.

For one, tests. While most of us understand that tests are a necessary part of the school system, we wish that they didn't determine your entire grade! In all of my classes tests are either 40% of my grade or 50%! Failing a test can basically take you from an A to a C in seconds. In my opinion, tests should be worth much less, so that the pressure isn't as heavy. Me an many of my friends wake up at 5:00 AM on test days to get in some study time. That's outrageous!

Homework is another controversial topic for students. While I rarely find anyone wanting homework, we can usually accept that we need the practice most of the time. But when all your classes give you complex assignments, it leads to late nights. Homework always cuts into my free time, which then laves me with very little free time and no study time. Homework is one of the main reasons I cram before tests. 

So finally if there are any teachers reading this, please take these ideas into consideration!
