What+Adults+Don't+Get+About+Tests

P I am a pretty good student, but when I come home with a bad test grade my parents flip out at me. Lately my parents have been yelling at me even more because I haven't been doing so well on my tests. Parents just don't get that there are reasons why I do bad on some of my tests. The teacher, after school activities, and stress at home are all the reasons why I sometimes bring home a bad test grade, parents just don't get how hard it sometimes is. P Teachers sometimes are the biggest problem when it comes to my grades on tests. Sometimes it’s not my fault but the teachers. Sometimes the teacher doesn't teach you all the information that is on the test. Also sometimes the teacher is just a bad teacher and that makes it a lot harder to learn. P After school activities are also a reason why I take home a bad test score occasionally. During an after school activity especially a sport you run around and get tired. When you get home you want to eat and do all your other homework. By the time you are done with that it is 10:30 and you just want to go to bed so you don't have the time to study. When you wake up in the morning you go and take your test and do horrible on it because you didn't have enough time to study for it. P The other problem that makes my test grades go down is stress at home. It’s hard enough to come home tired from after school activities, but when you have to come home to getting yelled at because your room is messy makes it even harder. You get all stressed out and then it’s even harder to concentrate because you’re angry and studding just becomes even harder for you. P Tests are so hard and parents just don’t understand when you bring home a bad test grade. The teacher, after school activities, and stress at home are all the reasons why I sometimes bring home a bad test grade. Even though I have a lot of things on my mind, I have to work harder. That way I will bring better test grades home and not get yelled at.
