More importantly, it diminishes a student's emotional wellbeing and can unfairly create problems in students' life chances. I recommend an alternative to all these problems that puts an end to these unfair exams. We must remember that teachers observe students' achievements every day. They are the ones who are trained to determine whether a student should pass or fail, repeat a grade, or graduate. I can attest that these VCE exams cause stress that no high school student should have to deal with. I am calling on school board leaders and policy makers in Victoria to repeal VCE exams and rules that have significant consequences on Atar scores and allow teachers to take responsibility for continuous grading throughout the year. As it was the responsibility of Orwell, who failed to stand up for what was right when he declared: "It was perfectly clear to me what I ought to do" (128), it is the responsibility of officials not to neglect or disappoint students and to do what is correct and right. . After all, our goal is not higher test scores, but powerful, increased test scores.
