Break the Break with EOC’s
By: Aralys Castillo
- David Gaston reviews with his class for a math EOC.
The two weeks of Winter Break have come and gone, and it’s time to exchange bathrobes and slippers for the forgotten book bags and gym shoes. Many of us may have drifted away from our usual school routine, and have gotten accustomed to waking up as late as possible without having to worry about standing in the cold to wait for the bus. Even as we stand and protest about going back to school, we all know we have to get to work, especially since the EOC’s have come early this year.
The two week of Winter Break served both as relaxation time and time to forget about previously learned school material. While some students took advantage of that time to study for the upcoming EOC’s, others chose to simply waste their time. With the EOC’s rapidly on their way, teachers like David Gaston, are trying to review as much as possible so that their students will be ready to take the test. But the question to ponder is: Will the Winter Break have any effect on the students’ EOC scores?
