I find the idea of absolutely slaughtering teens with AP, SAT, ACT, cumulative end of the year testing, plus the research papers/projects, and the fan favorite sol’s within a 2-month span is really not far fetched at all. Why? Well, it’s really a reality for students.

It seems to me that most administrators can’t seem to grasp that idea. Now if I were to have one of them read that sentence they would probably react like everyone else. THAT’S A LOT OF WORK, but because they aren’t willing to read something like this we’ll just have to worry a little bit more about their ability to cause the stress levels of an insane man into a teenager.

I understand the importance of these tests but I find it very hard to believe that there is absolutely no room to give time in between such important and large tests. I personally love learning and test-taking isn’t really a stressor for me. Like most students, I don’t enjoy piling on tests that decide my future plus keeping up with the workload that most teachers put on us that just so happens to also go up.

Something needs to change and people need to be willing to change this.
