Many students have been getting low scores on tests and this is upsetting to parents, teachers, and students. Low test scores may indicate that teachers aren’t teaching effectively or that students aren’t learning. Either way it’s an issue with which we are concerned. I propose the following: any teacher who is giving a test should open up their classroom for study groups the night and morning before the test. Maybe by giving students extra opportunities to study, we can improve students’ test scores. Compare Contrast
