The Absurdity of Finals Weeks





 The Absurdity Of Finals

      The absurdity of believing that students are able to complete 2 tests in one day and then do that for 4 consecutive days in a row. We all need time in order to do things. Therefor if they want to fairly judge our capability, they must allow us to recharge. If the actual purpose of finals is to judge how poorly we will do under harsh conditions then I believe we should continue this tradition of a week of torture. However, it shouldn't be hard to spread it out and make it so we have only one per week for a solid month. And any of the people that want to go for 4 in a row should then have any option. This forced 4 day testing does not cater to everyone and all people operate on a different schedule. It is not fair to punish those who take longer to recover from 4 hour testing.
     I believe school systems should look over how they do any testing. There is certainly room to change policy and it would not affect the overall workings. However it could possibly benefit the students and in turn the overall grades.
