It's unfortunate that sometimes in schools, there's this need to have things quantified and graded.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I abhor grades - if a child does his best, that's all that should be asked.
In math, you could get 100 percent. It was very fair. That's what I liked about math. You could figure it out, and the teacher couldn't have a stupid opinion about it.
Well, one of them is annual assessment in grades 3-8. It's integral to the implementation of everything.
Why do children dread mathematics? Because of the wrong approach. Because it is looked at as a subject.
To help the parents make the choice of which school to send their child to, I would insist that schools are graded on a simple basis that parents can understand, A through F. The way Florida is done.
I don't like class distinction, and there is far too much of that in England.
I never cared what kind of grade I got.
In traditional schools, you're penalized for making a mistake. But that won't work in the new information culture, in the digital world we live in today.
Schools don't really allow failure and yet it's a valid part of any endeavour, not just writing.
Grades don't measure anything other than your relevant obedience to a manager.
