Last Week in the Quater

The end of quarter week is not preferred by many students because of the unpleasant gifts that come with it. These include: tests in every class, checking power school to make sure you have all of your work turned in and correctly recorded by the teacher, and making sure you do all your make ups or missing assignments. I don’t know what teachers think about this week but I would suspect that it is a bit of a hustle for them too because they have about four days to grade and enter all the tests and assignments that were recently turned in. This week would not be as bad if teachers didn’t all give tests on the same day. When I add all the tests that I have on that, it is a total of seven tests, which follow each other back to back. This does not do well for my brain; it destroys and weakens it because it is just too much information to process every fifty minutes. And that’s the reason as to why I don’t like the end of quarter week. Another reason is also that it causes stress, sleepless nights and confusion. My suggestion to solving the negative that come with this week is that we do less in classes in preparation for the tests and that teachers should  give their tests on different days to allow students time to process the material for every single class. Taking seven different tests in one day leads students to failing most of them because their brains get tired after a short time. These tests are supposed to help the student’s grades, but in the case of failing them; they kill or decrease their grades. In order to make these tests more effective, they should be given earlier and should not contain new material for example material covered during that week.
