Stop all end of course exams.


Stop all end of course exams.
The Issue
As middle school and high school students, a tremendous amount of stress and pressure is put on us. With some kids taking 6 or even 7 classes, they will be taking 6 or 7 E.O.C exams or End Of Course Exams. Now a new system that has been put in place has caused focused more on the grades we get rather than learning. Common Core, the name of the new test, has created tests for electives including Spanish, Art, Music, Physical Education, etc. With more tests to worry about, we have more pressure than ever to do well. What is school without learning? Exactly what Miami-Dade County Public Schools imposes on us. The Common Core test, as well as any other End-Of-Year test should not be enforced on the students of Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Every signature counts, so please help us in solving this problem.
