A thing that students take maybe 5 times,if that, per trimester makes up 50% of the grade. While homework, which is done pretty much everyday depending on the class, makes up 20%. Some teachers will even complain when students don’t do their homework, why should a student be motivated to do a 20 problem assignment when it will count for like .00000001% of the final grade. Which is worse, the few tests the count for 50% of the grade, or the one test that could for 20%. The final exam isn’t a very likable thing either. They expect students to remember things from the beginning of the trimester? At least all that has some sort of meaning, the most pointless part of the day has to be OT. It’s 30 minutes of busy work, seriously what is the point in that? Who thought OT would be a good idea? The trimester system has made that better though. Most of it won’t even matter in about 6 years time. It doesn’t even matter being a senior, because even when you’re “done”, you’re not. High school is pretty much useless, because if you want to make any sort of money in this world 9 times out of 10 some sort of college degree will
