EOCT by Raziel Alegria

Throughout my freshman year I had a lot of experiences hearing teachers tell one another about how to teach their classes, and they could never come to a right conclusion. The best way they figured was the EOCT test scores. That is a big disappointment to some students because they may be passing the classes with low C averages, and the E.O.C.T is 15% of your final grade. If you fail that test, you fail the class. But if you have a high F you can pass the class if you did good on the test. That is very hard to do to some people. A lot of people fail their classes because of the E.O.C.T. I know I did.

Another of my personal experiences was when I had to move to Central and be there until I could move back to the east side. I was really nervous at first about going to a new school and meeting new people, starting all over. The teachers over there were pretty nice. Some were mean looking but nice. I did not run into one that did not say good morning or asked how I was doing. After all it wasn’t so bad I but still wanted to come back to Cedar to see all my friends and teachers.

What I learned from this experience was that teachers sometimes can help each other by giving their teaching plans to one another. I also learned that you should be thankful of what you have, and you should do well in all your classes because you don’t know what they are going to come up with next to supposedly help us pass our classes and our Georgia high school graduation exams. But they don’t even know what’s going to be on it so it’s kind of a blind sight for all of us.
