Grades don't measure tenacity, courage, leadership, guts or whatever you want to call it. Teachers or any other persons in a position of authority should never tell anybody they will not succeed because they did not get all A's in school.

What makes a child gifted and talented may not always be good grades in school, but a different way of looking at the world and learning.

Grades don't measure anything other than your relevant obedience to a manager.

I can't tell you the number of times in high school I was allowed to be disappointed for not making the grade; it's a part of life. So the young students who are being taught by radical leftists in this country today are going to end up growing up in a world for which they are totally unprepared and unequipped.

It's unfortunate that sometimes in schools, there's this need to have things quantified and graded.

I never cared what kind of grade I got.

I was told that I had to give grades to the students, which I wasn't particularly interested in doing.

Research shows that there is only half as much variation in student achievement between schools as there is among classrooms in the same school. If you want your child to get the best education possible, it is actually more important to get him assigned to a great teacher than to a great school.

You know, I'm fairly intelligent, but I don't think my grades reflected that.
