I believe that giving students the ability to opt out is good for all students and teachers.  It drives students to do their best work and it rewards the students for doing so.  This also gives hard working students a break and also, gives the teachers less grading to do.  If the student is doing well in the class and has good attendance, then I really believe that they don’t deserve to go through the stress of finals. 

I think with this ability to opt out this year, it could motivate and drive students to be at school and get good grades. Teachers are also under a lot of stress during finals.  They have to review everything, make sure everyone is ready, and then grade everyone’s final.  With opting out, teachers will only have to grade the finals for the students who need it.  Which relieves a lot of stress for everyone.

Usually, every year, everyone is stressing out around this time.  They cram to study and for big tests that a lot of the time are just unnecessary.  With students being able to opt out, this big stress and unnecessary studying will decrease by so much. The tension in the building  between all the teachers and students dealing with finals stress won’t have to worry about it.

The ability to opt out this year is very good and is very helpful for students and teachers.  This overall boosts the moods of everyone in the building and benefits everyone.
