rus each year fc dont want to write exams the teachers dont enjoy either setting or marking papers- and- while the exams are on the first- and second formiersj are deprived of the privilege 0 moving to different classrooms everyone at georgetown high is therefore made miserable by them so lets cut them out exams are not a true test of ability they are unfair to nerv ous breakdown and then comes the big day what happens the same thing that has happened to almost everyone at some time they cant remember what they studied these carefully memori zed points just simply arent there with

in formation stick in your mind lon ger than studying the sarrie in formation afterwards of course the two methods together would be best perhaps someone wonders about upper school exams why have those either they do need training for final 5th exams but suppose this too was judged on the years work the same amount of knowledge would be required but the tension and strain of the last minute rush would be miss- ing one of our teachers quot ing another teacher said that they dont need exams to be able to judge whether a student will pass or fail why then subject us to prank oneill
