We, the students, are asking you to let students with an A average skip the final exam. In the past, students who earned an A were rewarded for their hard work and commended. If students have an average of 90 and above and failed the exam their overall grade will decrease. All of their hard work, time, and commitment was for a B. Upsetting no?
Additionally, many upperclassmen have to take the NJGPA (mandatory), the SAT, ACT, and AP tests. It is very time consuming and draining! Lets join together and make a change!
We believe this policy would encourage everyone to strive for excellence. Thank you for considering our request! Sign today to help!
Finals more often than not create stress which hinders performance, and by having this weigh so much on the grade is indirectly telling the students that their hard work throughout the year means nothing because of one thing they got wrong. It's a slap in their faces.
