A Proposal To Abolish Grades A Proposal to Abolish Grading Achieving good grades has been the ultimate and final goal in some students’ academic life. This is a standard method that was set up many years ago supporting a way of ranking students’ knowledge focusing exclusively on a letter or number: their individuality and creativity were not exactly encouraged nor much appreciated along these years in American schools. Furthermore, they were put aside so colleges and universities would be able to judge their candidates. But by doing so, those institutions could not accurately judge potential students based entirely on a system that encourages memorization and in some instances cheating instead of learning for the sake of accumulating long-lasting knowledge that benefits ones’ future. This is why colleges and universities should abolish the current grading system and replace it with one that would more accurately show and praise a student’s abilities, creativities, strengths, and weaknesses as well as their unique qualities to stand out, lead, and direct control instead of just the cumulative GPA’s. Abolishing grades would also allow students to somehow break students, grades, instead, good, system, learning, just, grade, years, way, universities, test, take, students’, really, one, knowledge, judge, grading, getting, future, facts, current, colleges, classes, because, bad, accurately, abolish, , without, weaknesses, very, valuable, using, unique
