9 Do Grades Matter?

Grades are the backbone of the education system. If students receive bad grades they fail at learning! This system is flawed and needs to be changed.

I have personal experience in grades negatively affecting my life. I am dyslexic and going through school was a real challenge. I hated when I wrote an essay or took an exam and got marked wrong for a mistake. Learning is about making a mistake, so why should the grading system counteract that? The work should be corrected and have
feedback not a grade.

I loathe grades and think another system should be invented. I hope the education system realizes and does something in my lifetime. I would like to see that happen.
