Mid term exams this year are setting students up for failure. This year mid terms should only be able to help your grade not harm them. This would help students achieve better  grades. For example seniors this year may not get into a preferred collage because of their GPA if they fail the midterm. This would also help school grade averages. Having midterms only help our grade this year would benefit everyone, and there is not harm/ reason we that we should not do this. Others schools such as Vestavia are taking this route to help all there students . This is why midterms should only be able to help your grade this year.
