Rejected petition Have a Percentage of your Final exam grade assessed by your teacher
Make it compulsory for a certain percentage (preferably around the 30% mark) of a student’s final grade in a subject to be decided by the teacher of said subject.
More details
I don’t think exams are the best way of assessing someone’s intelligence in a subject, what if you aren’t feeling yourself on exam day or you struggle putting you thoughts into writing? Rather, what if a percentage of your final grade was decided by your teacher. This would not only provide a margin in the exam, making it less stressful but it would discourage laziness in class improving student’s work ethic and help prepare them for post-school life.
