I am a 8th grade student. And my perspective on exit exams are both ok and vary low. I feel that we should not have these exams to exit out of school, when you get that chance to be a senior in High School all you basically look forward to is graduating and earning your High school diploma. right? But then some kids get vary Uncomfortable taking these types of test. For my english class our teacher is making us right a pro and con speech about something to do with school. My own choice was High School Students should take a test in order to graduate from High School, and for my con they should not have to pass a test in order to graduate from High School. I recently read an article when i was researching that kids get to nervous they vomit on there test or they get all emotional and end up running out of the class crying. I blieve that we should not make teens scared of the test, and then they end up failing. But I also believe that we need to have better teachers. I do know that I know the teachers that are there to help by just the way they regularly are in class when they are teaching us and I do know that my language arts teacher is probably the one i like the most from them all. He knows what he is talking about, and makes sure that everyone in the class understands as well as him. I know that for a fact that i now write better and I know what I am doing in that class. But even though that i said i understand doesnt mean i am ready for a test why do i say that because i am the type that gets frusterated and will probably vomit all over my exam. Test arent the best things that work with me. Like I know all of the materials just when it comes to the test and i am put on the spot i get red and hot and i dont know what to do and get caught with a problem. I also will forget the anwser and then when i leave the classroom when class is over i then remember the anwser and beat myself over that stupid one question. So i believe that for my future when i am in High School I dont have to take a test to graduate high school.
