Why this petition matters

Started by Ezra Walker

I care because kids get stressed so much during the week of mid terms and kids only get two or three days to study for this test and so many kids fail these which basically chooses your life and chooses your grade because it is such a heavy graded test to your grade. A lot of kids try really hard in school and this is a test when you have to memorize five months of work in three days because a lot of kids don’t remember all of the stuff. This can really affect kids mentals healths because kids are so stressed in one weak which isn’t right at all. Kids should have the right to choose to take this test or not. A lot of the test are on the same day so kids are cramming thousands of things in there heads for one day of a test that there is a very low chance of them passing because not should have to cram all of this in there head in three days. This test is 15-19% of your grade and if your barely passing your class your automatically going to fail that class because if your already barely passing this class your gonna struggle. This is a very big stress for kids. These test aren’t even including other classes the most test you can have for this testing is like 5 or 6. Mid terms really can put kids down if they don’t do good on this test.
