What the petition asks

School isn't about knowledge or completing your aspirations anymore, it's just about passing. I believe that we need to stop being tested on our memory but on our skill to write, and infer and analyse instead of learning quotes from three plays and learn poems too.

Kid's are finding it difficult to memorise every poem or significant quote there is an is only piling up the large amount of stress teenagers are suffering. It is not information that is required in our livelihood for example an interviewer from a job is not going to ask you about the quotes macbeth said or where and when the inspector calls.
