I feel like standardized tests are way more fair than GPA.
I personally struggled a lot in school due to health and other issues. I also hated doing homework which is BS work, and I always had high scores on my midterms and finals which I think matter way more.
Why does busywork play such a big role? It should be exempted. If I can get a 95+ on midterm and final I obviously understand the material. Why did I need to spend hours of my day doing BS exercises when I already understood the material? Nonsense.
So I get a B at best overall because I get a F on homework? What a joke. I really think school is a waste of time when it’s done that way. Learn stuff, move on. I wish that when I have kids I can afford to send them somewhere they can actually grow and thrive, not just sit down and do a bunch of homework problems.
