As a mother of three, I am beyond frustrated with the current point system in secondary schools. While I agree that every action has a consequence, the current system is far from fair, and it's affecting our children's mental well-being. The pressure placed on students for arbitrary points can lead to depression and a sense of failure, which is absolutely unnecessary.

A fair and balanced point system is crucial in ensuring that students feel motivated rather than demoralized. The current system often fails to reflect a child's true abilities and efforts, instead emphasizing compliance or arbitrary milestones. For many students, this leads to unnecessary stress and anxiety, which can be detrimental to their educational journey and personal growth.

Research indicates that students thrive in environments where they understand the criteria by which they are being assessed. A clear, fair, and constructive feedback system can foster a positive learning environment, ultimately enhancing academic and personal achievements. Reassessing the rationale behind point allocation should be a priority.

A fair points system would recognize not only academic performance but also effort, improvement, and collaboration. It is essential that every child feels valued and encouraged. By implementing a more holistic approach to assessment, schools can inspire students to reach their full potential without fear of failure or undue stress.

Let us come together to advocate for a change in the secondary school point system. It's time to transition to a method that truly supports our children's mental health and educational success. Please sign this petition to call for a reevaluation of the point allocation criteria in secondary schools. Together, we can create a more equitable learning environment for all children.
