Grades

What are the importance of grades?! They are only a number that supposedly represents what you know. Many children with bad grades are not idiots. they are smart who simply do not do their work or do not learn well the way that teachers are teaching.

Which brings me to teaching. teachers need to try more than one approach to teaching. not every child learns well through note taking. some are audio visual, some are hands on, while others are like to take notes. we need to pay teachers more, and in return the teachers should become more personalized with a students way of learning, and teach them accordingly. because in the end it is not about the grades, it is about what knowledge yo acquire now that will serve you later on in life. Grades are meaningless, except for getting into college, and should be done away with entirely.
