5 DAYS
That’s all the students have left. Teachers have a workday thrown in next week, but who cares! Actually, you know what? FOUR DAYS! Make-up exams are set for Friday! I need to get to work early tomorrow and finish entering grades. Exemptions have to be announced.
I disagree with the exemption opportunity. I know we want to reward students for attending classes and passing, however if a student does not have an A they need to be taking the exam! Even IF they have an A they need the practice of taking high stakes tests. I know that I may be in the minority holding this opinion but I firmly believe that it is important for students to develop the study skills, and testing skills, that they will need in college. Besides, figuring the grades before exemptions, for exemptions, and after exemptions is a pain in the butt!
