Don’t get me started on …
It’s only fair to talk about something that you can relate to. I’m sure by the end of my presentation you would be saying “Don’t get me started on”.
Controlled Assessments! Tell me about it. It practically gets on my nerves ALL the time. Ironically, I’m doing one right now. This proves how this is such a pressing issue for us at this time. It clearly gives us unnecessary stress and anxiousness until the daunting marking process is done.
The exam board: the least they can do is giving us some breathing space in between assessments. There’s literally like 4/5 every month!

There's also the fact that
