The American school system is based off of tests. I feel like almost every country is, China included. However, I completely disagree with it. As someone who has pretty bad anxiety, I can honestly say that a lot of my stress derived from worrying over stupid AP exams, SAT scores, or just stupid state required tests. It’s not cool. A student’s intelligence is based off of their performance from being locked in a room for 6 hours. That can show either the best and worst of students, and it’s obviously inaccurate. I also think that’s the reason why a lot of kids drop-out, because no one wants to deal with that bullshit. Seriously.

I just think a student should be “judged” by their overall performance. That would have enough justification. 

Cool.
