My petition aims to lessen the exam burden that students have to carry on their shoulders to prove their knowledge of a specific topic at a given date.
It has been scientifically proven that exam stress is terribly damaging to pupils' psychology and fails to assess correctly their knowledge on a specific subject matter. Sadly, in most cases, teachers tend to grade their pupils for the whole semester based on a 50- or even 100-minute dry exam situation which is just not enough to assess a pupil's performance. High stress levels or personal issues may not allow the student to show what they know on a specific day and time.
In contrast, a topic-oriented project, focussed on the subject matter which pupils have to master in a specific unit over a longer period of time, consisting of various parts and engaging all 4 skills, is more appropriate thanks to the stress-free conditions and flexibility it entails. Projects are the best way to allow students to show their inner self and talents and accommodate different learning approaches.

TOTALY AGREE. Exams are outdated. Most kids just memorize stuff to pass and forget it a week later. Projects teach actual skills for the real world.
I agree.

Finally someone said it. My daughter is so stressed out she gets sick before every single test. She knows the material but she just freezes up. Projects would actually let her show what she learned.
