Piling it on
… The teachers seem to be piling on the homework again. I think that it's all pointless. Well, it is! …
Your teachers may be piling on homework, but my teachers are piling on tests, tests, and more tests. I had a Faith & Sacraments test yesterday, and I’ll have:
- Tomorrow
- Introduction to Government: Quiz
- Friday
- Algebra II: Test
- Spanish II: Written section of exam
- Accelerated Chemistry: Lab experiment quiz
- English II: Vocabulary quiz
- Saturday (!)
- Accelerated Chemistry: ACS Œsper Test at UC
- Next Monday
- Algebra II: Open-notebook test
- Accelerated Chemistry: Test
- Next Wednesday
- English II: Exam
- Accelerated Chemistry: Exam
- Next Thursday
- Algebra II: Exam
- Faith & Sacraments
- Next Friday
- Spanish II: Exam
- Introduction to Government: Exam
- Introduction to Java Programming
So, as you see, I’m going to have a nice weekend. My Programming teacher tells us that colleges don’t allow teachers to give quizzes and tests during the week before exams. Since my school claims to be a “college preparatory school,” it should at least have the same policy in this case. How am I supposed to study for exams as well as possible, with two tests that Monday?
