The current educational grading system in this country is a low level, cheapskate, divisive way of measuring a person\u2019s ability, intelligence, capability and character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This ABCDF or 4.0 rating system is for the most part a bad system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our grading system is just another method, tactic, scheme or controlling tool that the Top 1 per cent richest people and corporations use to gain more power\/wealth over the majority of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God knows how many people with originality and talented gifts have never been discovered because of this bad grading system and bad experiences at the high school or college level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Albert Einstein failed many of his math and physics classes, why? Because he did not like the grading system and did not want to conform to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe we should try letting some form of artificial intelligence system take over the grading system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We could ask Alexis, Siri, Watson and or Google to help create a better grading system, or maybe we should try following the Hampshire College grading system, it does not use grades for its students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our grading system needs to be repaired or replaced with something better something that treats people with more respect and will truly reflect a persons true ability and intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I sincerely believe that we can do better than our current grading system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This capitalist based grading pecking order system needs to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
