Get Rid of Finals

We are starting this petition as the system of final exams this high school has implemented is flawed. The current system requires all grades under twelve to take the exams. This one test counts as a fifth marking period grade thus having a significant impact on a student's yearly average. This can cause stress and anxiety for having to take a test that counts as a significant portion of their yearly average. Not all students are proficient test takers and having this flaw can potentially damage their yearly average and gpa. If a high school student has an A average it proves the student has learned the subject thoroughly. There is no need for a final exam that can ruin their hard earned A average if a student is already adept in a subject. In short, the goal of this petition is to get rid of finals in all classes and electives for high school students with an A average or higher.
