prepare for the exam after the break . Seojun Hwang , a 9th grader , spoke that he wants to have midterms before the Christmas holiday . Not because he would perform better , he said , “ I would perform the same before or after the holiday , but I think I would remember more stuff if we had exam right after we studied .” Isabel , Max , and Seojun said that they think the Christmas holiday is more important than exams . Quote from Isabel , “ We should be able to enjoy our lives . Life is not all about school and grades , and a lot of people need to be reminded about that .” Seojun said , “ I ’ m Christian so obviously Christmas is more important to me , I need time to take a break and relax after so many tiring months of studying .” Every student has he / her own opinions on this situation , and each has their own reasoning . It seems like there are pros and cons for both having midterms before the Christmas holiday and after . All we could do now is to follow the school calendar .
