Nov. 26 was midterm which marks that the school year is almost halfway done! While this can be somewhat exciting for students, because it means a 2-hour early dismissal, it can also be a really stressful time for students and staff alike.
Allie Green, Class of 2025, says “Midterm puts a lot of pressure on me especially during my senior year when I am focused on college applications. It’s stressful.”
Midterm can put this type of pressure on all grades and staff. Students feel the pressure to get their assignments in on time and turn in any late work they may have.
Meanwhile, the staff gets a rush of late and missing assignments that they are expected to grade right away.
All in all midterm adds a lot of unnecessary pressure and stress for everyone.
