For honors, we were supposed to read an article on the effects of grades on students and society as a whole. The article was basically insulting the grading system and calling it useless and counter-productive and teaching the wrong things to the children.
I must say, I wholeheartedly agree. I myself have went from a hardcore grading school to a college more worried about the learning process and I enjoy it. Granted, the grades are still there, but there is less emphasis on that. I actually remember more stuff in college than from high school. It is more interesting. The professors actually care. The high school teachers did care. They just hated my graduating class. Apparently, we were a bunch of hellions. I mean, when they harass a teacher they don’t like…. Yeah, they were a bunch of idiots.
If the grading scale was nixed, I believe that students won’t know what to do at first. Perhaps they might rebel and not do a darn thing. I don’t necessarily blame them but I wouldn’t that just cause I would be ecstatic and realize the potential. Nixing the grading scale would make it so your work ethic is the focus and how you do stuff, whether creatively or above and beyond the call of duty. Thus, I believe that in the long run, it would help considerable for any individual because said individual would have experienced something similar to a workplace. Grades are essentially what separates school from work. Work never have the grades yet it is similar to what we do in school. Get rid of the grades and the shock won’t be so bad when getting a job for the first time.
All in all, I definitely agree that the grading scale should be nixed. I mean, each teacher grades differently. Each teacher has a different set of numbers. For instance, one teacher would consider a five a ten or another would consider a 1 a 4. Thus, perhaps you are technically getting an A, but the teacher made it a C. I know, it seems strange, but think about it and it will become clear. Numbers don’t mean the same to each person. So, why is there a grading scale when that fact is well-known to everybody?
It’s interesting that you point out you have learned more in college. You thought that the teachers also helped you learn more by investing in you. Maybe instead of changing grades, we should look into making sure our teachers are invested and good at teaching. They are the ones handing out the grades so maybe we should explore the start before we skip to looking at the end result.
Interesting comment, Elise. Another way to look at this is, if eliminating the grading system is going to fix a problem, then what other options are there that would also accomplish that same goal?
Reid, you said that students could put more focus on the learning process if grades were not used. What would be their motivation to do so? Do you think students would struggle in classes that they deem uninteresting (but were required to take anyway)? What does it mean to “struggle” in a class with no grades?
What do you think the most attractive feature of a school with out grades is? Is it possible to change only a portion of the schools to systems lacking grades or does it have to be all or none? What kind of consequences may come from the divide this debate could create? I can imagine that education may suffer for a period if this debate becomes too heated and a line is drawn essentially.
This is such an emotionally charged topic. Don’t we all need a benchmark to gauge our success?
I like to see your blog!!!! Nice one!
Regards!
I’m right wiht your idea, the system something just see numbers and not put atention to students. In the college we all can learn and optimizate the education system, also its good that someone like you be talking and sharing this opinion!
I found it interesting that you perceive no grading in the world of work. They have it, but it only has really three levels: meets expectations, does not meet expectations, and exceeds expectations. Employees are “graded” annually during performance appraisal; those who fail to shine are terminated. That is the result of C, D or F level work in the real world…..

I would have to argue that the reason prices are rising would be due to the vast amount of people addicted to cigarettes which gives the companies the opportunity to cash in and make millions of more dollars by raising the cost because they know that people will buy them.

In my experience V2 has been everything I could have hoped for. My whole ordering process went smoothly from beginning to end. I did A LOT of research before finally settling on V2 as my e-cig supplier, and since my starter kit arrived (over a month ago) I have not had a cigarette! V2 has many different flavors to choose from and so far all that I have tried have been fantastic. Their carts last at least as long as a pack of traditional cigs would and their batteries hold a long charge. I was also really impressed by the amount of vapor V2 e-cigs produce…very thick and smoke-like. I honestly do not miss cigarettes at all! In fact it feels like I am still smoking. They have many different batteries/cartridges/accessories to choose from and they have managed to mimic the whole sensation/feeling/throat hit of smoking an actual cigarette. I recommend V2 strongly to anyone interested in trying e-cigs. Not only am I saving money it is nice to know that I may also be saving my life. I have read where some had problems with V2’s shipping times and I can say that I have never had any problems at all. V2’s customer service is outstanding (no, I do not work for V2) and they go out of their way to please their customers. Not only is the product and customer service great but they are always running sales and have discounts…V2 has truly changed my life and it is wonderful to now consider myself a “non-smoker”!!!Jeff

One thing I’d prefer to touch upon is that weight loss program fast may be accomplished by the proper diet and exercise. Ones size not merely affects appearance, but also the overall quality of life. Self-esteem, major depression, health risks, along with physical skills are damaged in extra weight. It is possible to do everything right but still gain. Should this happen, a condition may be the primary cause. While an excessive amount of food and never enough exercise are usually to blame, common medical ailments and key prescriptions can greatly enhance size. Kudos for your post right here.
