High school, the mainframe of teenage unity, bundled up with commotion. Adolescents come to school to go to classes, to learn, and eventually to graduate a more wise and intelligent person. To some, high school is easy; they study hard, do their homework and wind up with better grades. To others, high school is not as easy; they rarely study, don't do their homework and wind up short of their expectations. The whole population of students in high school mainly fall into one of these two scenarios. Although these two groups uphold different schoolmaster values, hey both can agree on the dislike of finals. Finals are the last part of a class, a gloomy underlying monster that decides to emerge at the end of each semester. Students scramble to prepare weeks in advance, trying to slay this menice of disgust. Some prevail, and some do not. If one thinks about it, how fair are finals? Should finals determine up to 35% of a students final grade? There are many answers to these questions, and many discussions could result. .
Before choosing sides, take a moment to understand and think about these statistics. There are roughly 180 days in a school year. In one day of school, the day lasts about seven hours. In most schools, there are seven classes a day, with each class about fifty minutes in length. Now in theory, if on the first day of school teachers began to teach their lessons and on the last day of school, students took their finals, students would have to regurgitate up to 180 days of class work, which would be equal to 9,000 minutes of information for one class. If a student had seven classes a year, all the information that the student would have to remember would be around 63,000 minutes or 1,050 hours worth of information. No living human being could process this amount of information on a test. Not only is this an outrageous amount of information, but also the tests that this information is put on can equal up to 35% of the student's final grade.
