You look through your agenda one Monday morning, and you scan through all your past homework assignments and \u00a0projects, your crush\u2019s name doodled in a heart several times, and a few test dates here and there. You flip to the previous week to see what\u2019s coming up for this week. Then it hits you. You\u2019ve got a math test this morning, a French test in the afternoon, a chemistry lab report that you had no idea about which is due in two days, and an English review quiz just the morning after. Plus, you should really<\/em> get started on your Health essay about healthy eating.\u00a0 All you can think about right now, is, when did I get all this homework? When did this all happen? Oh no, I\u2019m so doomed.<\/em><\/p>\n I\u2019m sure I\u2019m not the only one who\u2019s noticed this. It seems almost as if every Wednesday morning of the staff meeting, the teachers compare assignment due dates and test dates. Like they\u2019re purposely trying to make every single thing due on the same day or week, as if they\u2019re plotting against us, or, in their words,\u00a0 \u2018getting us ready for university.\u2019<\/p>\n I don\u2019t know about anyone else around here, but personally, I think the teachers are going a bit overboard with the whole, You-have-5-Tests-Next-Week. I mean, it\u2019s mid-October and at the beginning of the school year, the teachers told us they we\u2019re going to start us off easy. Slamming us with all the homework assignments, tests, and projects is not really \u2018starting off easy\u2019. Unless this is an easy start, then we\u2019re all going to be doomed by the end of June.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hilary Gardiner You look through your agenda one Monday morning, and you scan through all your past homework assignments and \u00a0projects, your crush\u2019s name doodled in a heart several times, and a few test dates here and there.
