Abolishing grades would also allow students to somehow break free from the restraints of conventionality and actually learn instead of just memorizing facts for a test and soon forgetting the information completely. There are classes that students are interested in, that would be really challenging that they simply don't take because of the risk of getting a
bad grade, even a lousy "F. I totally agree with this particular argument because students, as well as adults, have become too dependent on using grades as a way of judging intelligence and performance. " They fear the threat of a
bad grade, so they forego a potentially valuable experience. uld 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. As a "good" student in today's society one would have to conform to just getting good grades, not truly learning, in order to have a chance for a better future. Instead they rely on classes in which they can memorize facts, take the test, get the good grade, and move on, without really learning or retaining anything. 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. In our current system students need very high grades to be accepted to graduate school and eventually to obtain a prestigious job.
