Should seniors be exempt from finals?

Senior's most definitely should be exempt from finals all together. A final usually covers the information that was taught to the students from the middle of the school year until the end. Finals should be given to freshman, sophomore, and junior students. Finals are required for each class taken in high school. Senior's should not be required to take final's due to all the work they have done throughout their high school career.

Final's cover information from after you take your midterm until the end of the year. By this time seniors already know whether they are going to graduate or not. If the senior is eligible to graduate they should not have to take a final. Finals and midterms in general require students to recall too much information. Why should we have to know half a year's worth of information for one test? That is absolutely ridiculous! Our minds cannot even hold that much information at once. One test should not have that much information on it. Finals should be nonexistent, especially for seniors.

Seniors have already been in high school for three years. Senior's have worked so hard to get where they are.  They have taken so many tests and quizzes in their high school career they should not be required to take a huge final. Senior's are trying to get their life together to start the real world. They are focused on getting everything in they need to for college; they should not have to worry about studying for a final exam. Senior's should be relieved that it is the last week of high school, not stressed out because they have to take tests. Some students are so hard headed that they will not even show up the day of the test and just take a zero on a final exam! They do this because they strongly believe they should not have to take it. It is not even a question; seniors should not be given final exams.

Having final exams for Senior's only causes stress, chaos, and rebel.  It would be so much easier for everyone if Senior's were just exempt from final's all together as long as they are passing. Senior's have worked so incredibly hard to get to where they are and they should be proud of themselves, not worrying about another test as they are already worrying about getting all of their papers in for college. Senior's are ready to move onto a new chapter in their life. They should not have to be worrying about finals, they should be completely focused on the future ahead.  

Changes in the Gymnastics World

The whole gymnastics world is changing. There used to be levels one through ten, ten being the most difficult. Most gyms do not start putting their gymnasts' in competition until they have reached level four.
USA gymnastics decided there needs to be another level. So to the gymnasts' if you were a level six you are now a level five. The gymnasts' did not like this very much. It brought down their self esteem, and even made some gymnasts want to give up. . The changes were just made and will be enforced next competitive season. Being a coach I see first hand how the gymnasts' reacted to this change. Some girls even cried because they have worked so hard to be where they are, and they feel demoted for no reason at all.
I was once a gymnast and I can not say I would react the same way as some of the gymnasts' I coach. I believe that this change should make you want to work harder. Gymnastics is a very challenging and demanding sport, you have to be a certain kind of person to be a gymnast.
I think that a change needed to be made, but I think their could have been a better solution to this change. They could have just added a level eleven, but then that brings up the issue of the level tens who have worked their whole life to get where they are now have to go even further. No matter what kind of change they made there would always be an issue, but a change absolutely needed to be done. I think this was a change for the better, even if some of my gymnasts' disagree.
