Dare I say it? Well-…………..

Pasquale is probably the only kid there wishing for final exams to never end. How does the Well deal with conflicting wishes anyway? Is it a first come, first serve basis?

Last year my daughter was upset because the state Assessment test didn’t land on her birthday (it was the first year she had to take it). She actually looks forward to it every year!

This will be like Lake Woebegon, where all the children are above average.

Save your money and just pray and study harder.

I don’t think I had finals until middle school. What world causes grade schoolers the stress of finals? A sad one.

I didn’t have finals until COLLEGE! No wonder kids can’t learn anything today… they’re too busy testing instead of learning. Just another good reason why my kids are going to Catholic school…

We always had final exams when I went to grammar school (Catholic school). The one good thing about final exams was that it was a tradition at school that all during finals we’d get to bring in board games. We’d all sit around playing board games in school all day long except when we were taking an exam. That was a great way to relieve the stress!

Spare a thought/coin or two for the kid with the cap… anyone??

Stop the presses! Clem’s actually parting with money!

Keep Clem at a distance …to coin a phrase!

I once came in and took my final exams in high school when I had a 101 degree fever. I just didn’t want the hassle of having to do make-ups. Oddly enough, I got some of my best grades ever!

What final exams does this kindergarten get ????
