3. Too much importance is attached to exams at school. Do you agree? Pd- Qui.
Why say too much importance is given to exams and that it is time to change the way we monitor out childrens development at school.
Firstly, I think that the examination system is unfair because sometimes two students with the same ability in a subject get very different exam results. This is because one is much better at taking exams than the other.
Apart from this, exam questions often test how much a student has remembered about the things he or she has been taught in the classroom.
As a result, students are often encouraged to learn facts by heart, instead of how to use the information and how to think for themselves.
Lastly, it seems to me that exams sometimes have a bad effect on teaching, as teachers are usually judged by the exam results of their students.
Consequently, they are often more interested in preparing their students for the exams than in making their lessons lively and stimulating.
