Making Children Do Tests All The Time Is A Good Thing For Them
Children have to start putting up with exams like when they are 7. Shouldn't this be a time for them to enjoy life rather than get stressed over their exam results? Exams are good when you get to a certain age, i think, when life is starting to build up, but exams for about 9 or unders are just too stressful.

Instead of training the kids to memorize facts they should be teaching them how to think. There is a diference.

I don't think so. Tests were once meant to assess how much the pupil had learnt during the course. Now more often than not pupils are simply taught how to pass the exam. Teacher assessment throughout the year is better in my opinion.

I strongly believe that tests and exams prove nothing, and whats more, have no effect on children. One test cannot possibly prove the knowledge of a student.
