Teenage complaints about exams?

It's for an english assignment. We have to write a "Teenage Declaration of Independence", and our class decided on gaining independence from exams. The ideas I have now aren't enough for the paper, so I'm looking for help.

Examples:

1. Stress causes students to do poorly.

2. Not an accurate test of our abilities.

3. Lowers grades (In my school, if a student has 100% in a class, the exams lower that)

4. Has too much of an impact on our grades.

I can't think of any more past that... Any ideas?

    Combine 3 and 4. Also, what if a student gets a 100% on an exam? That wouldn't lower their grade.

    Other Ideas:

    5. Exams take away from the purpose of why students go to school, which is to learn. Exams cause students to study to pass the exam, not learn the material for the long term.

    Cheers and Good Luck :) you got this
