After all of the practice I had last week with coming up
with inquiry questions and college level answers I feel so much more
comfortable coming up with more!
A question I came up with to answer is: How would a shorter
school day, no homework, and no tests change children?

Without tests and homework
children would learn for the actual sake of learning, instead of learning
something just to pass a test. I know
that sometimes I just memorize something until the test comes, and then I
forget all of the information after the test is over.
Without tests students would be more interested in learning for
themselves instead of just to get good grades.
Without homework students will enjoy school more, and stop looking at it
like it’s a chore. Some people may argue
that without tests and quizzes there is no way to see if a child is learning or
not, but memorizing something just for a test isn’t learning either.
With less hours of sitting in a classroom, having
no tests, and no homework, students will actually enjoy learning things. They will stop looking at school as a chore
and will actually enjoy going to learn new things to better themselves. A shorter school day would change children for the better!
