Students: ‘Test Zone is War Zone- You might die.’

I am sure, my good friends, that almost all of you have been to a school, maybe some of you are even graduated professors! And I am almost a thousand percent sure that you have taken a test…but do you know how it is for some other kids when they ‘test’?

As a matter of fact, I am born in an invironment like this myself, me. I moved to another school later in my life, though, as soon as I finished kindergarten. Why? I don’t know why, I was only 7 years old! My mom was the one that pulled me by my little hand and dragged me to the school to take a test. “You will understand when you get older.” she said like any mom in the whole world would do, yet I was 9 years old, I didn’t understand a grain of the reason, it is after a 4 year stayed in that school so I understood everything.

First problem: The Teachers.

The first clue I got? I had a classmate, a girl, she had been in a school like this for…I don’t know, but I guess a pretty damn long time. She has taken serious tests before, you know? Those ones that you need 60% correct to pass? She got 97% correct! Then the teacher called her mother to school, she thought, for congratulating her, but the teacher actually called her to talk about her ‘bad grades’. “It is only 3 points until full score!” her mother exclaimed, “I think it is a very good score!”

The teacher snorted, “Exactly, only 3 points! Why couldn’t she have got the other 3 points? Now she only lose points, when she grow up…she loses jobs!”

Well…this is what I was talking about, she can make losing 3 points in a test seem like losing 300 points in the test, and that is exactly the heart of the problem, for students are going to get discouraged on the spot, and they might stop trying to do anything, because they feel like the world is forcing them to get 100% score on the test, no matter how well his efforts were.

Second problem: The Parents

The biggest problem of all is actually not the teachers but the parents, not to say some of them will abuse the child if they were not 100%, since they will live will their child, they are going to remind the child of the million tons of pressure on their back that is just getting higher.

Here’s an exmple to show you one of the worst mothers in the world:

“Son? Where’s the report card? I am telling you, you can’t hide it, I have asked about all the date and months it would be coming in.”

The son just rolled his eyes at this stupid lady, and handed it over, yet it felt as if he was handing his mother a death note to himself, and that his mother can kill him after this.

His mother snarled at him, and saw that the card had no comment from the teacher, his mother looked, and all of the subjects said: ‘A+’ on them, she looked fine, but suddenly the air turned deadly as the mother looked at the B+ on science. She turned and slapped me hard on the face, “I raised you, I know I taught you science, you handled the other subjects so well, why couldn’t you do science the same way?!”

Let’s cut that off, shall we? Before the scene gets ugly.

Anyways, I have proven my point, and what is worse is that the parents are are almost a half of the kid’s life, so if his closest family is like this, he would grow to become rebelliant, and would start to hate the world, if the matter is really bad, like if family drama happens everyday, the kid might even become associated in the criminals.

Third Problem: Classmates

Last but not least, there is this third problem, which happened to a lot of people(including me).

The child’s classmate, if they are good at studies, would love bullying people who aren’t as smart as them. Like I remembered one time when I was in kindergarten, there was a girl who was older than me and always got A+ on tests, she had ganged up a bunch of people to bully me. When we reported it to the school, they did nothing but scold her a bit. Later I found out that she was the principal’s daughter, and even the teachers were helping her as she was really good at studies like I said before.

Concluding all these up, if you even find your child depressed, or hurt in any kind of way, remember to always think of the problem and try to solve it. Also, if you are a child looking at this, you should always tell your family of your problems and maybe solve it. Yet if your family is abusing you, you can always report them to the Child Protective Services.
