Childern have more and more tests and exams to do at school, sometimes starting from the age of five or six right up untill the age of eighteen. What are the advantages and disadvantages if making childern do exams

There is an argument going on whether children should have

exams

or not. Having

exams

in the education field is not bad but it has

both

advantages and disadvantages. I will discuss

both

benefits and non-benefits in the next paragraphs. Let's look at the advantages first. There are many benefits of having

exams

in the school. It will help

parents

and

teachers

"Whether the student is progressing or not".

For example

, When a pupil sits for an exam and when the result comes, it shows that the pupil needs more attention in these specific subjects. So,

teachers

and

parents

both

become aware of the situation and they focus more on the subjects where the student is lacking

show examples

. The benefits of having tests in the school prepare the

students

for the future. Let's discuss the disadvantages now.

Exams

do affect the mental health of the

students

when their

parents

and

teachers

put pressure on them. I have

also

heard that some

students

hang themselves after they see their results.

For example

: When

exams

are upon their heads and their

parents

put pressure on them to study hard and get 100% results,

students

get scared of their

parents

. When they are not able to fulfil their parent's needs, they hang themselves. Some pupils

also

go mad during their

exams

because of the anxiety they have in their minds. They go blank during the

exams

. They do not remember anything. In conclusion,

exams

and tests have

both

advantages and disadvantages.

However

,

parents

and

teachers

should not put pressure on the

students

instead

they should be encouraging them.
