Midterms

Here's the worst thing about midterms: if you're a teen writer like me, they interfere with what could very well be the next bestselling novel to hit the New York Times list. I'm a good student, actually a great student, but I've always had to wonder what the point is to midterms. Think about it, if you learn one topic and mess up on a quiz or test, you can always make it up later by doing better on the next, so why are you getting tested on the same stuff twice? Odds are you won't understand something if you didn't understand it the first time. So it's just extra work for both the students and the teachers. I won't say I understand the point, because I can't, but I do understand that I've got to take them, and if you've got to take them, you might as well do the best you can, right?
