Why Are Tests Handed Back At the End of Class?

So I just got a test back in one of my classes, and it's neither here, nor there, on how I did. Rather, what irked me about this most recent academic endeavour was the fact that after two weeks of grading this sucker, my teacher has the nerve to pull the "I'll hand these back at the end." The end of class? Really bro? This has to be one of the most annoying things teachers do. I mean, somewhere back in the ancient Egyptian schoolboy days, a myth started that if you hand a test back at the start of class then students will refuse to pay attention for the entire class. This has to be the most idiotic thing ever invented right? Student's obviously pay less attention when they don't have their tests. Since the maestro didn't hand back the test, the normal student is going to painstakingly look at that stack of exams and fail to hear audible sounds for the next 50 some odd minutes until the examination is in hand. Just simply stupid.

I say we're not gonna take it then. Come on teach, be an adult and give us the test at the start of class. Take the bombardment of whiny questions like a man. Let's be honest, we all know you just want to hand back the test after class and duck out of there without hearing any gripe. I say malarkey. I say you know what, next exam, I'm walking in and saying "I'll take this later on in the class."
