Some people think that giving
grades to students is bad for them because of the pressure students feel by
grades. However, in my opinion, grades make them study harder and in a correct way. The reasons
will be explained in the following essay.
To begin with, grades
provide students the motivation to study. It is
clear that students will study less when grades are disappear would have disappeared. Because they can know their acheivements
achievements in a
direct way, they can make a clear goal and this
helps a lot to motivate them. Also, they think that they should study harder
when they get lower grades than their
expectation. For sure, there are some problems which is are made by grades. Some students get too much stress
and pressure and they are abnormally absessed obsessed
with grades. However, if school teaches that grades are only academic measures,
and not the life measures, students could
handle the stress well.
On top of that, students
do need evaluation. They need to know if they study in a
correct way or not. Grades can do this guide's role. If teachers don't provide
grades to students, the only way they can take their teacher's opinion is a
personal meeting. However, in most schools, the
number of students per one teacher is over thirty. In this situation, it
is impposible impossible to take a personal meeting with every students. This is
physical impossibility, regardless of the teacher's
effort. There is an opinion that sometimes
grades do not play a role of the guide well.
Although it is true in some cases, the problem is a wrong standard to evaluate,
not the evaluation itself. Teachers have to evaluate students in various ways and respect the variety
of individuals. So, it is true that there is
need to revise the way of evaluation, but still evaluation is essential for students
as a guideline.
To sum up, despite of some side effects of them, grades do
are needed for
students. It is because providing grades motivates students to study and tells them how to study indirectly. In these reasons, I
think providing students with grades promotes learning.
