"I agree, I really don't think that we need to have a huge test."

"I also think that students should get to know what teachers do on their PD days."

"I agree, at the end of the day, I think we just need to switch it up a bit."

"Maybe we should take these tests but they don't impact our grade at all, and are just information of how much we know. Kind of like ISASP."

"I agree, semester tests should only be for those who actually need it. The people with good grades don't really have to prove anything."

"I agree, however, everyone would have to do the work, not just one smart person."

"I agree, I think that they should only be for those who are struggling or need it to pass."

"I agree with you. Those who already have a good grade, don't need to test their knowledge or anything."

"I agree, I don' think that these tests should be so impactful on our grade. I think that 10% is really the sweet spot for how impactful the test should be."

"I think that this is the first time I am hearing about this. What is really crazy is that the government hides so much from us. The little things and the big things. I don' think that we need to get rid of the slaughter houses, but I can understand…"

"Shootings like these are always very depressing and unfortunate. We can do all these things to prevent shootings and all these atrocities, but at the end of the day, I don't think that we can do too much but just become better people in this world."

"I don't know much about baseball, so I don't really know how impactful all of these changes are. I think that the pitch clock is a great one because I can easily understand that and compare it to basketball. But I don't know much about base length…"

"I don't believe in changing your gender or having certain pronouns. Not to be mean, but if you can't accept who you were, than why do you expect me to accept who you are. I really think that this will all pass over in a decade or two and nobody will…"

"I personally think that hard cap is better. I prefer to watch super teams than just have a balanced league. That is the fun in sports, to watch a superteam to all kinds of crazy stuff and have an incredible season and every other team is trying to…"

"I thinkn that the amount of school we have is necessary. If you really want to drop out, you can at the age of 14, however, I don't really think many students would do that. Many people dislike school, however, we know that we should go to school to…"

"As a soccer player, I prefer turf. This is because it is mostly smooth and you don't have to worry about random bumps in the ground. One of the primary cons of turf however, is the stress it can cause on a player's knees."

"I don't think that photoshop should be banned. Yes, people often do things that they shouldn't with the incredible technology today, however, I don't really think we can stop people from performing these actions anyway."

"I think that there should be certain areas where people can smoke. Because I know that second hand smoking is real and can affect a lot of people with things like cancer. So it would be good to just have certain spots. Or people should just stop…"

"I don't think that paparazzi should be banned. However, I feel that they should have some really strict rules to follow. I think that they should only do their job during public services such as when they are walking into a famous place or something…"

"I agree, I was thinking that they could be worth around 5%-10% of our grade just because we put so much hard work all year, and it can all be determined by 1 big test."

"I agree, I think that 10% is the perfect amount of impact on a grade."

"That is a really good solution. You make a really good point! Those who already have a good great shouldn't really have to take the test in the first place."

"This is why I think that the semester tests should just impact our grade less. Maybe like 5-10% of our grade."

"Maybe it could vary from 5-10%."

"I agree, I think that people always seem to do much better on group tests."

"I agree, I think that the impact on the grade could be a lot less. "

"I understand what you are saying and partially agree, however, are they that accurate? "

"I agree with you there, I don't think that semester tests are very accurate. But then what should we do? Projects? "

"I can see that, but how do you feel about group tests? Do you like having group tests in Bruns' class?"

"I agree, I think that group tests could be a lot easier. But everyone would have to be involved."

"I can see that, these tests are really stressfull. But would projects be that stressfull? Or maybe group tests like what we have in Histroy and CWI."

"I can see that, however, do you think that the unit test should be impact our grade just like any other test? Or should it be more impactful like a semester test?"

"I can see that, but we also have to show what we know. And I think no matter what we think, there will always be a semester test/project. The question is, how impactful should these tests/projects be? Rightn now that max % is 20%. I think that…"

"What do you think the max % should be for how it impacts our grade. I was thinking around 5%-10%. "

"I think that they should impact our grade less, like maybe around 5-10%."

"I think that the semester test is necessary, however, some people just aren't very good test takers, or get nervous. We put in so much hard work all year, and it could all be ruined by one test? I think that it should range from 5%-10%."

"I agree with you, I'm not very creative either. But I think that it would be better than have a test in some situations."

"I understand that, but I don't think that they should impact our grade so much. Because most of the math teachers have it at 20%, which is the max. I think the max should be something like 10%."

"I get nervous too on these tests, and sometimes I don't do very good either. But I think that the max percentage should be 10%. No more, no less."

"I think that the max should be 10%, because I think that it should impact our grade a little bit but not too much. "

"I personally do not agree with you. If you were to have an A in a class, and mess up on the test and fail it, your grade could go down far, maybe even down to somewhere around the C range, which would not be good at all. I was thinking maybe around…"

"I agree with you, and there can be many alternatives to these tests such as projects, group tests, ect. However, I don't think they should impact our grade so much. I am thinking maybe having the highest possible percentage of our grade being…"

"I can see what you are saying, but I do think that there should be something in the gradebook to end the year off. What about a project?"

"I agree with you, many people and me are saying that the test should just be less impactful, like maybe the highest percentage possible could be 10%."

"I agree with you, but I was even thinking lower than 10 to 15 percent of the semester grade."

"I think that the tests should be less impactful on our grade. I was thinking maybe 5-10% max."

"I agree, it would be really nice to have options to pick from."

"I think that's a great idea, maybe instead of semester tests affecting our grade, they can just be put in the books, like you said. Great idea!"

"I slighty confused on what you are really saying, but I think that they are necessary for many reasons, but I can understand that POV."

"I agree, however, I don't think that it is necessary for the tests to be so impactful to our grades."
