Why? Just why?

Question

I am in grade 9, standard 7, and our school is basically the only public school in the province (probably even the country) to be writing end of year exams. WHY? I was looking at a website on stress and i have every single one of the symptoms (there are about 20), and i do not see why the school feels the need to make us die early...GOSH!!


You don't really have to answer, i was just ranting

Answer 2

Ranting is always good but stress is not. Exams allow the school to collect data to prove they are doing the job they say they are doing its political, some places even reduce a schools funding based on test scores....unfortunately you and thousands like you around the world are in the same place, remember rest, exercise healthy food and sleep are the best way to get through this time. When you are feeling stressed, take a brisk 1/2 hour walk, sprinkle lavender around...tune out whatever it takes and remember it doesn't last forever its just part of the system.

Answer 3

I hope you feel better now that you've gotten this off your chest. When you take a break from your studying, try not to go the Internet and stress over your stress. Have a snack. Call a friend and chat for 15 or 20 minutes just daydream.

Answer 4

Well that's exactly the oppisit in my province we have to write every single year at the end exams and March, July and september it's totally cruelty don't you say? But thats also totally weird that the only school in your province. (MUST SUCK)

Answer 5

20 symptoms? Maybe you don't have stress. Maybe it is jst a combination of arthritis; leprocy; black plague, and i-hate-exams-itis

good luck in your exams. Don't worry about the symptoms unless body parts start falling off

Answer 6

Sorry about the stress. There's an old saw about if it doesn't kill you, it'll make you stronger but that's probably not the message you want to hear is it? Hang in there and good luck.
