Freedom of Finals Coming to an End

Starting in the school year of
2015/ 2016, students will no longer be allowed to opt out of the semester
tests. This decision was made due to the fact that when students do not take
their finals, they can become unprepared for college or for future life skills.
“People
have been getting out of taking half of their tests, sometimes even all of them
depending on their schedule,” said Maleficent, Science teacher.
The
entire RAM Plan system will be disbanded, but students will still be expected
to be in class and on time as well.
Even
though some teachers are agreeing with this new idea, there are still some people
(mostly students) that are against it.
“If I
have to take all of my tests, then I will not have enough time to study and
prepare for all of them,” said junior Snow White. “I think all of the students
will just be completely stressed out.”
The
school board, recognizing all opinions received from the community, made this
decision over the past school year. They also believe that this will help
students be more motivated to pay attention in the classroom, and to study on
their own time outside of school.
“With
putting more importance on the semester finals, students will put a larger
priority on their school work throughout the year,” said Jafar, school board
member.
