I watched my friend have a severe heat stroke while doing the beep test. Our teacher kept pushing her to go on..

The beep test is actually cruelty. Children are forced to undergo this without a say and end up in a worse condition

The beep test becomes a competition where kids end up pushing themselves too far.
