**EXAMINNATION TIME**
Papers flying all around, the tensed period of school has come and students are busy cramming all the life put of the book.
That's when you know who has actually been reading since the beginning of term or those that have been saying "School na scam"
While others looking for ways to carry out malpractice.
But is it supposed to be so?
Shouldn't exams be excited, knowing that you want to pour out what you understood from all the class been taught?
Should our notes be bulky can't we pick the subject we need and throw away the rest, because a lot of what is taught of us are not needful or necessary.
I'm currently serving and teaching literature and I try as much as possible to give them the needful foundation of what Literature is all about, even if it is broad.
We have always hated exams, every Nigeria students hate it, cause it allows them to think and store up a lot of information.
But is exam really that bad, it is because we live in a world where we don't study what we want or passionate about.
I think that's where our problem lies, when we as individuals pursue what we have affinity for, we won't hate exams that much.
For instance, I love read novels, especially the science fiction and historical regency, when you give me exams based on the books I have read I would be willing to write it down knowing you are testing my knowledge.
Let me drop my pen here by saying, Examination shouldn't be that hard when we know what we are doing and why we are doing it.
Success in your examinations!!!
