Life With the EOC
Stressed out teens & bad grades.
EOC gone wrong!!
The concept of this test is good in the way of making our standards higher, but in the end it backfired because you can't expect everyone to think the same. The EOC counts for everything, which is ridiculous. If you DON'T pass the EOC then you DON'T get to grauate!
Causes of too much stress:
What Teachers Have to Say About The Test:
*Anonymous*
Unnecessary
"This EOC test has put way too much unnecessary stress on the students. In my opinion it doesn't even accomplish the purpose of why students are having to take it."
Too High of Standards
"We as teachers don't have enough time in one year to fit in everything our students need to learn in order to pass the EOC. They are making us change the whole curriculum and cram in every bit and piece that may not even be on the test."
Ridiculous
"I do not agree with this because of the fact that they are asking all of the students to think alike. No two kids are the exact same. Not all kids are good at test taking, so why make that the final say on whether or not they get to graduate? This is ridiculous."
Let's Compromise!
Instead of completely getting rid of the EOC, how about just lower the standards?
