burst of a loud cracker cuts into the silence of a bright sunny morning‚ this sound is followed by a chorus of "WHAAOOO" by hundreds of kids. This scene is repeated every year on the last day of school‚ signaling the end of exams. Naturally‚ children are officially banned from carrying crackers to school. Despite frisking‚ they‚ somehow‚ manage to save that lone cracker for celebrating the end of exams. One will rarely find a child who enjoys giving exams; the bright ones are under the stress of

because of this the question‚ “ Should everyone get a trophy?” has arisen. Nowadays it seems as if people are being rewarded for the simplest things; it has gone on for so long that some people are running out of space because of the sheer amount of trophies that they are receiving. Although getting a trophy for doing nothing special seems great at first‚ it soon becomes apparent that this practice is unfair to those actually put effort into their work‚ because people should be rewarded according to the

The DACA program should be ended and Congress should develop a new law to address these immigrants. They are checked for any criminal history or threat to national security‚ and they must be students or have completed school or military service. If they pass this check up‚ they can avoid being deported‚ or sent home‚ for two years‚ and will be able to apply again. If the immigrants don’t pass the check up‚ they are not allowed to enter America. To be eligible‚ an illegal immigrant had to enter the

Examinations‚ as we know it‚ have emerged to be the main theme of modern education in the ever-changing landscape of academia. In an education infrastructure that is as unpredictable as the clouds‚ it is somewhat ironic that the system of examinations as a means of judging a student’s ability has prevailed through the years. Every person‚ in their quest for knowledge‚ would inevitably encounter numerous modes of examinations through the course of their academic journey. As much importance has been

to prepare for their examinations or even students committing suicide when they do not do well in their examinations. Yw : I don’t think that examinations should present any stress or anxiety to students because most‚ if not all‚ examinations today are scheduled and students are given advance notices of such examinations. As such‚ there should be no cause for complaints about examinations by students because they are always given sufficient time to prepare themselves for their examinations and if

"I like the SAT‚ but I don’t love it. I wish I could find something that was a more fair and accurate measure" (Cloud‚ par.14). The ACT and SAT should not be used as a requirement for college admission. First off‚ there are a plethora of students that are not good test takers and will crack under pressure.

Children who were brought here illegally should not be punished for something they could not change. DACA gives these children a chance for a better life and more opportunities with them not having to leave. They should have the same privileges to education‚ to work‚ and to stay in the country. DACA is a program that protects undocumented immigrants brought into the U.S. as children

I think school exams are adequate to measure student progress. I don’t like high-stakes testing because the participants are minors and the quicker you can get these students in a community college environment‚ the quicker they are able to mature and know why it’s important to work hard. I also don’t like them because they aren’t content exams‚ but instead are literacy tests‚ thus while most people are going to perform in accordance with the literacy test as to their abilities‚ the correlation is

Many parents confused whether to send their children to boarding school or sending them to day school. Some parents bewildered which one is better for their children. Nowadays‚ both parents thought that boarding school is better than day schools. But‚ as a student‚ for me I do not agree with the statement which been said that boarding school is better than day schools. As we know‚ in boarding school‚ children just learnt to leave alone without their parents. This will leave a psychological impact
