Regents Exams

Regents Exams... No one actually likes them, the kids don't like them because they have to take them at the end of the year, and they know that doing good or doing bad on them can really affect their life. Teachers don't like them because they have to plan their entire schedule around them just so New York state can view how the kids are doing instead of just taking input from the teachers. I could go as far as saying that New York state has a lot of issues with these tests.
I think that at the end of the year instead of having a regents exam that the teachers have to plan around and that they don't even know whats on them we should take a test devised from the teachers, so that way their won't be any "Bad Questions" on the test and so that the students can be fully prepared for whats on the test instead of the teachers hoping that they taught the right thing. That makes it so that all the kids have to do is pay attention in class like their supposed to and they will do good on the test! To say the truth, why do we need an end of the year test? They are a very inaccurate form of seeing how much a student learned this year. A student could not understand a question, or they could get nervous, or not know what to write about. There should be another form of finding out how much they learned, because a question on a test only covers one part of what a student learned, and some questions are repeated many times. Regents exams are a very bad way to see how much a student learned. In what job do you ever take a test to see if you have been paying attention to what you learned?☺ ☺ ☺ ☻ ☻ ☻ Ná7£
