Goodman explains that the teachers and the students get pressured on that by the time they take the state exam they are stressed out (Goodman, Teachers 264-5).
Rapoport explains that both the teachers and the schools tend to go into a lot of pressure by trying to help the students pass their state exams (Rapoport, Tenth 134). Goodman states that in order for the teachers to help the students they have to plan ahead of time to become more proficient with the material. He explains that the school plans a monthly test for the students in order for them to the constant with it and be ready for the state exam. Goodman explains that by taking so many tests it sometimes stresses out the students when they take the state exam (Goodman, Teachers 264-265). The government does not take into consideration that some students do not want to learn or do work while attending school. Making the teachers suffer for the students actions, putting the teachers to struggle trying to reach the minimum amount of work needed. Placing the students to push out or dropout from school. Goodman states that the students in their freshman years are just promoted to the next level by passing them with their homework grades. He claims leaving them to struggle with their sophomore year by falling their state exams leaves them with no other alternative to drop out of school while they still can. Goodman states that if the school fails to reach the required accomplishments, the government has no other alternative than to shut down the school (Goodman, Ten 7).
Goodman explains that the teachers are just passing the students to the following level in order to stop struggling with them. He describes that by continuing to pass the students, they will struggle in the following level taking more challenging test, makes them take into consideration of dropping out of school with all the pressure on them (Goodman, "Ten" 7).
