Grades(marks) encourage students to learn
The history of education could be dated back to ancient Greece, where Plato discovered the Academy. The issue that grades is an excellent thing to make student progress receives argument likewise, while some people think a low grade will make children frustrated about their life, and a high marks may proud a human with confidence, happiness, lead to fall into the next examination. The way I see it, this statement is as absurd as it is harmful.
First and foremost, the remarkable weakness of the view, posted those who believed less score will lead to the lack of confidence, is the ignorance of the fact that painful difficult experiences will knock people down and they will have a hard time, he may felt annoyed, frustrated at one session, after that he will have his own determination and hard-working towards his target. My friend, Xiaoqiang, is a case in point. At the age of 16, he decided to finish his college study in American, and should have taken a TOEFL test. His first time stepping into the test room without any preparation, you know what, his listening part just got 2 point! What a shock! After that he felt frustrated and keep sad for nearly one week. Then he thought there’s no time for him to cry, the only way to have access to American University is conquer the ETS, which is an ugly organization that include TOEFL IBT test. After painstaking effort, he reexamines the TOEFL test after 2 week and got a score of 110, which totally arrested the IBT. Up to now, he has already study in Harvard University for nearly one year. If you can see it, you will understand it more deeply.
Despite the reason I mentioned above, another indispensable fact will simultaneously come into our mind that is a high-score student will have more and more confidence, which entirely encouraged them to study hard. For example, when I entered my senior high school, I was suffered from those difficult or even complex formulas, which I thought they aren’t understandable. There’s nothing happen until one day my mathematic score got an unexpected full mark, surprising! From then on, I study mathematic with full confidence and began to love it, and got a satisfied grade in final examination. What’s more, I won an award for the Second-ranking mathematic competition in the summer vacation, that’s cool.
As I mentioned above, whatever your grade is high or low, it influenced your grade at each time. If we pay more recognition to our grade, we will know more the advantage or disadvantage of ourselves. Conscious or unconscious, marks encourage people to learn more. For ambitious young men who are starting out in the world, a century-old Chinese adage maybe the first thing they should bear in mind: study the past, if you could learn more in the future.
