Final Exams Are Ridiculous

Shawn Lefebvre
 
           Over the years, the amount of work school has piled on students has increased exponentially, and by the end of June, the amount of anxiety and aggravation amassed is stultifying. Parents may think that these pupils would be overjoyed and ecstatic since the school year has come to an end, but guardians always forget one horrific detail. Finals.

Students are well aware of the stupidity and nonsense that are present on final exams, but no matter how ready the pupil, they still know that in the end being bamboozled is imminent. This inevitably causes more stress, and in some cases causes some students to erupt with animosity. Yet can these disciples truly be blamed for being completely fed-up and frustrated? Absolutely not.

These so called “final exams” the government creates, are just plain ridiculous, and only serves to make lives more miserable. The original purpose of the final exams were to give an evaluation on whether the student has comprehended what he/she learned throughout the year, and yet the government will do everything in their power to make that evaluation as complicated as possible.

The only action these young prospects can possibly do is try their best, and hope for an acceptable mark that will continue them on a path to a bright future, but after all the hectic events are over, one just can’t help wonder what the point of making such a ludicrous test truly was? No one has yet to find a legitimate answer to that question, but hopefully one day, the government will express their own thoughts on their destructive creation.
