Student testing has been a serious problem for ages. A new proposal is now suggesting that students be tested every Monday in every subject. I strongly believe that students should not be tested every Monday. I have several reasons to support my position. First of all, students will be tired; students who are poor-test takers will continuously fall, and finally, the students will have less fun time. Teachers give us too many tests already during the week. Now, they want to gives more! I strongly disagree with the proposed testing schedule for several reasons.
To begin, tests should not be implemented every Monday because students will be tired! Can you think well when you"re exhausted? I know I can't! Students are learning and working five days in a row. With a new testing schedule, they"re working full- time. Students would be falling a sleep in class because they are a wake until 1 o"clock in the morning. Can you believe this? The students will be overloaded with information and wouldn't be concentrating in the test. In conclusion, tests every Monday will over work students so much that they"ll be too exhausted to even think!.
In addition, students who are poor test takers will continuously fail. There will be so many tests coming every week that students wouldn't be able to keep with work or learn. Instead of improving in their studies and tests, these students grade will decrease because they aren't getting enough material and to learn what teacher are teaching. For instance, if students fail one test, he would need help from the teacher so he could improve it. However, if another test comes very soon, the students will again fail. Since he didn't have enough time to understand. It is very important and a job of a teacher to make their students learn and understand everything clearly. So, that they can improve instead of failing every test.
Finally, with a test every Monday, the students will have less fun time to spend.
