We decided to have a discussion in school about exams if they should be removed from schools entirely or not so we had made teams of people who would have discussion about the topic. And this is my synopsis of the debate especially my opinion

The main problem that people had with the exam in the debate was that why must it bring stress and strain to be someone of knowledge or even respected,how could knowing complex mathematics ever help in day to day situations.But the issue with their argument would be the fact that if you want to be someone of professional work you must be prepared. That if means you want to be a doctor and you deal in life and death situations you must be not only prepared with the knowledge from the exams and studying but also the mental preparation that the exam can also simulate that stress in genuine form. Why its also mandatory for teenagers its a simulation of that fact that prepare yourself that these expectations be met with the most effort you can bring. But an important distinction that someone made in the debate was if one desired a humanitarian way of life for an example a writer what would a biology exam do and my answer to that is the again the important lesson within the fact if that route does not work out what would be your solution to that problem. But another strong argument is what if there is an alternative or what if we try to have a functioning society without an exam like things, the issue with that would be that lets say you try to enter a job and the because of the fact exam like functions do not exist anyone could simply apply for an interview can count as a test or exam of your set of skills for exact job and in schools would be the worst without any exams the way to test someones understanding of that topic would be very hard and the number of actual learning students would diminish. The main conclusion to my argument was that for hierarchal society to function there must be a kind function to simulate many events and pressure for the ultimate result especially in a state like this in the world with a very high population and climate change.

1. What in exams could be tweaked to make them more approachable .

2. Why are exams so disliked tell me what you think the source is.

3. Is there a different systematic function in the schools educational program that could be better then exams.

4. What would society be like without exams would it function normally.

5. State the primary reason why exams work and how they work to be useful in day to day lives.
