To the Editor,

The article "Israel suspends standardized tests" talks about the decision to cancel the Mitzav tests in Israel. I support this decision because (of) the compelling arguments you have(מיותר) brought up during(ww.-in) the article.

In my opinion, tests, especially major tests, are(gr.-do) not only make the students overly nervous but also don't reflect the student's knowledge. Those tests are aimed by time and by the end of the time the student can't continue his test and he won't be able to show his real knowledge and hard work he has done to study for the test(phr.)

Moreover, tests have become the big tool for measuring the students knowledge and by grades the school divide the students(phr.). That's wrong because numbers can't tell that he is better than one person but less better than the other. All Students are different from each other and they can't be aimed(ww.) by the same tests because each student is(an) individual and a system that works on (ww.-for) one student (does) not necessary that will(מיותר) work on another student.

I believe that if every one of us who reads this article will think and remember his years in high school, we will remember how unfair the tests sometimes has(gr.) been and the tests that we couldn't
finish on time and has been taken from us.(phr.)


Sincerely yours,
Jane Mayer

This needs a lot of work. Please rewrite.
