Answer:
As we are fast approaching final exams at my high school, stress abounds like the varieties of chicken (strips, nuggets, fingers, fries) in our school cafeteria. Students are crying at the drop of a hat and hyperventilating over mounds of study guides and daily review sessions.
This is not okay. One week of each semester should not ruin a year of learning.
Students: read this manifesto out loud. In the mirror.
Parents: you must read this manifesto to your students.
Teachers: allow this manifesto to help you walk a mile in the shoes of your students who might just need a little more grace and a lot more patience this time of year. You can even have your students read this together, in unison, before they take their exams.
The Final Exam Manifesto
Final exams do not determine my worth. No matter the grade – whether plus or minus, whether A or B or C or D or even F – it does not connect to the core of who I am in any way, shape, or form.
The attitude I have toward my final exams will directly affect how I perform on them. Therefore I will do my very best, but when I sit down to take said exams, I will breathe, release, and let go of the outcome. I will realize that one test does not determine my entire future.
I will go with my gut. If I have listened, applied myself, and worked this semester, there is a good chance I will inherently know the answer to the question. If I do not, I will use my best skills and strategies to make a satisfactory educated guess.
And it will all be okay if I get that answer wrong.
Education is a gift. Knowing not everyone in the world has such a privilege, I will not complain, whine, or spread negativity about my exams – even if I think they are unfair. There are thousands – even millions – of children who would give anything to take my unfair exam. I will take that into consideration before, during, and after my test.
This, too, shall pass. Ten years from now I will not remember the answers for which I put pencil to paper during this exam. I will remember the relationships and meaningful moments spent over the expanse of the year because that’s what I will choose to embrace. I will not allow one (or several or many) test(s) to ruin my day, my week, or my summer.
If, by some token, I made some drastic mistakes and choices that put me in a difficult position for this exam, I will choose to take responsibility for my actions and vow to make it better next time. I will realize that life offers me a plate every day, and that tomorrow is fresh with no mistakes. I will seize the opportunity to make lemonade out of lemons and do better next time.
