Bring back the old way. My daughter is doing all the homework and classwork but it doesnt even matter now because of her test scores. This is so unfair.
grading should reflect the whole effort not just one bad day in a testing room.
Testing anxiety is real and this system ignores that completely. It doesnt measure what they actually learn.
My son is a straight A student who is now failing because of this. He knows the material but panics during tests. This system is setting kids up to fail.
Total garbage. Why change what was working fine for years? The teachers are stressed and the kids are miserable. Fix it.
