This week I am going to tell about how president Obama says that tests make school boring. Just like president Obama says it is true that tests do make school boring. And as one of the affects cheaters come along. Cheaters cheat because of thier fear of getting a bad grade on a test. by cheating cheaters only cheat themselves because of no learning anything and cheating. If you scrool down you will see mine and many of my fellow classmates responses to both thse articles. If you want to know more about both of the articles then go to http://www.edmodo.com/link?id=5154898&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftweentribune.com%2Fcontent%2Fobama-says-too-many-tests-make-school-boring and http://www.edmodo.com/link?id=5148378&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftweentribune.com%2Fcontent%2Fits-fact-cheaters-only-hurt-themselves. Tell me about your opinion about these articles. What do you think?
Me - I agree with this article because as this article states it is true that many kids think they do better when they cheat because they get a good grade. But actually they do not learn anything. Also cheating just makes you more tempted to not try to do things on your own because you trust others anwsers to get you good grades.
Erin S. - I agree that cheating is wrong. Teachers can't stop what happens at home when they see the answers to a homework or test because one kid was absent when they took the test or missed homework. Teachers can stop it in class i have seen it happen. It is true when it says that your only hurting yourself because if you don't know the information how do you know it wont show up on another test or pop quiz. heating is wrong.
Rishika P. - Honestly, I am very surprised that research had to be done for some people to understand this reality of life. For all those scientific people, follow cause and effect! If you cheat, you are cheating yourself by not feeding your brain with the information it needs! You are simply taking the answers for the grade. When people expect you to be a person of good education, they will hire you into a reputed company. At that job, you will try to keep up at a level you are NOT at because you decided to cheat and not understand. Just like the saying says, "Give a man a fish and more...
Sara A. - I very much agree with President Obama because too many tests do make school boring. Whenever there is a test everyone is groaning and not wanting the tests. In fact tests also start to stress kids at a young age. Kids are staying up all night trying to prepare for tests. They don't get enough rest or sleep which can lead to depression and insomnia. Therefore tests are not only boring but also stressful for kids and teenagers.
Joseph M. - I agree with President Obama because not all students are great at test taking. Some students may be very bright but may not be good test-takers. In my opinion, I think that tests are boring because all you do is fill in a bubble. Like the President says, all you learn is how to fill in a bubble, not the actual content. Tests may be boring, so I think that kids should be evaluated on other mediums, such as projects.
Vaishnavi D. - I agree with the article that cheating will hurt a students future. If a person cheats he/her will not know what has been thought and when they try to test them orally, they will be unable to succeed in life. But preventing cheating would be hard as many students are into it. I feel that we should stop cheating as it will hurt ourselves and it doesn't matter if you get and A or an , you should do it with your own brain.
