Post Reading

To be caught red-handed is when you feel like the world would end in a ew minutes,allegedly.
When you are caught, you feel guilty, something inside of you is not relaxed, you feel so embarrassed that you want to disappear in that moment.
 

was caught in eleventh grade. It was a Math class and we were supposed to have a test a week later. In the class I saw some papers placed on the teacher's desk. At first, I thought it just some papers and they were not supposed to be so important. But then, I found it was the Math test, that was supposed to be in a week. I told my friend who was sitting next to me, together we planned a plan how to take it form there. The plan was that I would delay the teacher and my friend would take the papers quickly. It worked until the next day. The teacher said that if nobody would admit, everybody would be punished. She knew it is us, she just wanted us to admit it. At first we both lied but thenwe admitted and I learned a few important lessons.

The first lesson was that I couldn't succeed on my own because I could know the answers
and then get a fake grade. The second lesson that I have learned is that no matter what, never lie! When I lied I felt so embarrassed and nervous because of two things: the first thing was that the teacher knew it was me. The second, was that I lied and inside I felt so ashamed and guilty.

We were punished and wdeserved it. Sometimes when you do things you have to think a thousand times before you do it.

Poem of exercise 3

You didn't flush the toilet,
you never clean the room,
you didn't take out the 
garbage I bet,
and also you left toothpaste
on the sink I presume.
You are never doing homework,
and you broke me a cup,
so please do me a favor,
and grow up!
Excellent! I love it (and the picture....)

Dear Editor,
I read your article and it was very interesting. There are a lot of schools that use tests to evaluate the students' academic achievements. For example, these tests exist in high schools and called Bagruiot. In my opinion, this is not the right way to evaluate students' academic achievements.
"Intellect shouldn't be graded, education is not about measurement, but about learning" that is what Yair Lapid said and it's true. Everybody is different.  Everybody is different in their qualities, and intelligence. Everyone has a talent or something he's good at in a different way than the other. These exams or any other tests do not give a chance to realize the individual potential. You can be excellent in one subject but weak in another. In addition, the tests make a competition between students, all they want is to get a better grade than others.Sometimes there is too much competition which students don't focus on their real goal, learning, they just want to "win"  the competition.
The tests might help students, however, they also can make a difficulty for them. As it is Written above, students  arnot given a chance to realize their true potential in tests. Therefore, my suggestion is also to give them projects with grades that might help them get better grades than the Bagruiot or any other tests. I'm sure the projects will improve students' achievements.
Sincerely yours,
Marry Smith.

Better, Good work.
