Trustee Ernie and other members of Halton Board of Education went unheeded Thursday when the board decided to continue allowing each school lo hold exams whenever it wants Bodnar said he believes the board is using a shotgun approach when comes to exams since each school uses its own as to when exams will be written Are we really achieving what we want to with exams when some students write them part way irough the school year and others at the end Do we want to simulate the pressure of finals which is now even disappearing at universities Maybe we are missing the boat as far as exams are concerned when there isnt any consitency with respect to the length of of the hurdle system when day by day evaluation of i student work isn as tant as one day effort Boich said exams should t count for any more than per cent of a pupil final mark Bodnar said exams which are held in the middle of a semester are really just tests and said the entire school routine I be inter for tests He said exams should be held at the end of a semester and deal with the entire year work Exams do more than simply teach students how to write university exams They teach other skills which are exams or when they arc held Bodnar suggested Superintendent of Program John explained the rca son exams arc written is be cause the experience is crucial He worried that any change in board examination polities
