Passage Three
Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades. Fortunately, most educators are becoming aware of the fact that students have different interests and abilities. However, the discipline resulting from grades still exists. Grades often cut down creativity. Competing for better grades causes many students to turndown opportunities to pursue music, dramatics and sports. Grades impose a subjective standard of success on everyone. I do not demand as some extremists do, that grades be ended immediately. How- ever, I do believe that less emphasis should be placed on grades. I hope that someday grades will become optional at Village High School.
