In the article‚ The Case against Grades‚ Alfie Kohn talks about how the grading system is deflecting the actual purpose of why students are interested in classes. He speaks on how grades tend to diminish students and create a preference for what a student has to aim for in his or hers course. I myself have experienced this in my academic life. A student shouldn’t be categorized and put into groups when looking at a grade. When a student enrolls himself into a course‚ let’s say in high school‚ he

the way back to 6th grade we were always the littlest ones and I remember feeling like a fish out of water. We were terrified of getting lost or being late for class‚ but excited to have a locker to decorate and change classes each period. It doesn’t seem like that was over 2 years ago at all.

I’m going to tell you about my life from the end of 7th grade to the end of 8th grade. At the end of seventh grade I had went to both my brothers C-tec and Watkins graduation. After both graduations we had a graduation party and I got to see family members I haven’t seen in forever. I got to hang out with my cousin and eat a lot of delicious foods. A few days later it was the last day of school and all I did was hang out with all of my friends. After that it was finally summer! My whole summer pretty

favorites. For this story‚ I’ve asked various 8th grade students about what their favorite year was‚ what was their favorite moment of that year‚ and what they were looking forward to next year. Some students thought sixth grade was the best year for them because there was less rules‚ people got to know each other better and make friends‚ it was a smaller school‚ and there was only one grade at the school which meant more space.

Some of the most memorable events that happened in my life occurred during seventh and eighth grade. One of the most fond memories that I had was my seventh grade trip to Washington‚ DC.

Should Students’ Grades in Gym Class Affect Their GPA? I personally do not agree with grades in gym classes affecting students’ grade point averages. I believe that gym class should be strictly for fun. There are many students who are not very athletic. Many females do not enjoy playing sports or running a mile. I do not think it is fair that schools make their students run a full mile‚ time them on it‚ and grade them on their times. Certain students are not great runners and the fact that

Gym grades affecting your grade point average is a very debated topic. I believe that is should be graded and here’s why. Imagine having to do all the work to get a good grade in gym‚ and then finding out its not even being graded. You would probably not see a need to try anymore. That means no more effort‚ no more showing up in uniforms‚ and then eventually simply skipping it entirely. Two decades ago‚ 42 percent of public school children attended gym classes daily. Today‚ gym has
