Essay A (Argumentative Essay)
GRADING
As students we all have been challenged to do our best. Throughout our lives we
have been labeled with our grades; in high school, the ones with low grades were left
alone in misery, while the ones with higher grades were praised as the leaders of this
horse race. Then, the question that comes into mind is: is it right to categorize students,
does grading contribute to education?
It is assumed and stated in the philosophy of the current educational system that
grading encourages learning and without it students would not study. That is far from
being true and also expresses another flaw of our education system. The system is
based on fear: the basic motive for students to study is fear of low grades. Furthermore,
because the grades are the main criteria for passing courses, students do not study:
they just develop methods of cheating. Thus, without learning the subject, they keep
passing.
Since grades received in exams are more important than learning the subject
matter, all students have to do to pass their courses is memorize how a specific
problem is solved. Without knowing why such a method is used, students cannot apply
their ability to solve the problem to daily life. However, they pass exams without learning
why, how or what of the matter.
Another disadvantage of grading is that grades of a student are not updated.
That means the grades of a student for the first year of school will still be valid in the last
year, whether his knowledge about the subject has improved or deteriorated.
Considering all the factors that affect a student’s exams and marks, even a small
incident may have a great impact in the long run.
Apart from these problems, which can be virtually solved by optimizing and
improving the grading system, the most important defect of the system cannot be
repaired without changing the whole system. The grading system causes inequalities,
superior-inferior relations, classifications and even conflicts. It may be maintained that
societies of the modern world are structured on these basic principles, but the fact that
something exists does not justify it. Moreover, the people grown up in such an
education system will not be able to see the other side of the walls, or will be afraid
even to take a glimpse. To sum up, grading students is not a good practice and should
be abolished. It is clear that education, especially education during childhood, has a
great effect on one’s life. And if you bring the children up in conditions of conflict and
competition, they will look for conflicts in the future too.

stressed enough if cyber crime is to be suppressed.
