Dear Robert Scott,
I am a freshman from Seguin High School in Seguin Texas; I feel that the Texas education system is corrupt that we as students are learning to test and not to actually learn. We as students retain information for short periods of time to take a test then forget which is one of the reasons I feel that the United States of America is falling behind in the education system. However Texas does not have to be like the rest we need to take away a lot of the tests and not learn to test but learn the information we’re being taught. Not by rushing us to hurry and take a test. Now I understand that we are trying to catch up to the rest of the world however by rushing us students we are not learning to learn but learning to retain information in short bursts to take a test. However I am not saying that tests should be taken away we do need check point but at Seguin High School we are taking state CBA ,s every week or every other week .When I feel that we as students feel that we should not be monitored every second of the day. When a new employee is hired are they assigned tests to show their improvement? No. it is based upon their performs however there are teachers who will give students grades that they didn’t earn so yes there should be two checkpoint tests year but not to determine whether the student passes or fails just to determine where everyone stands and how to alter curriculum. Please respond back DISCIPLINE
On the discipline note I feel that discipline is not harsh enough. At Seguin High School in Seguin Texas the students will be punished by a referral how ever after so many times it means nothing they just say “so I don’t care fine I will go to A school I don’t care it doesn’t affect me” I have heard this with my own ears and I strongly feel that some other discipline should be brought in for example physical labor cleaning as in cleaning various
