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
