Today, when it comes to education, grades are indispensable factor. However, some people may be opposed to current education system based on grade since it gives rise to excessive competition and could be overused as an unfair treatment instrument. So, they claim that it cause students not to study very hard. But, I strongly believe this education system encourages students to study harder since grade is a means of instrument gauging their position and functions as an incentive.
To begin with, grades can be used to find their position. Without grades, students can't figure out their position and they even don't know their ability to study. But thanks to grades, students find out their position and help them to focus on their target. For instance, when i was high school, I’m not good at studying. But at that time, I made up my mind in order to achieve my dream. I set my goal and effort that how much I should strive up through my current grade. So it motivated me and I could study very harder.
Moreover, grades are good incentive. Student efforts to study harder are upon on their grades because that is exact index about their ability and performance. In addition, since one of human nature is being desire to want to be top one, students study very hard to obtain the position with number one top player about grades. Studies have shown that students with great grades are more likely to study harder than those who don't. This is because they study not only their dream but also their urge to hope to be number one. This may well reflect given statements.
In conclusion, some people may be skepticism about grades education system, but I firmly believe that grades is one of the greatest system to motivate students to study harder since it is helpful to find their ability and powerful incentive.
