No student should be evaluated on the basis of their grades

There is no such thing as an excellent student or a poor student. 

Teachers should understand that students are motivated at different levels, have different attitudes to learning, and respond differently to specific classroom environments and teaching. The more teachers understand these differences and how they affect their students, the better chance they will have of meeting the diverse learning needs of all of their students. 

The abilities of students are not the same, which means that a student who gets A grade is not necessarily better than a student who gets C’s or D’s. Some students who get C’s are more socially aware and have better life experiences than those who get higher grades. In fact, a number of successful people did poorly in school. Steve Jobs, for instance, never finished college yet he became a successful and world-famous inventor and entrepreneur. Another example is that of Richard Branson, the British business magnate, and investor. He left school at 15 and now owns the Virgin brand. 

Most students hate the fact that teachers in schools or lecturers in universities judge students according to their grades. And it is not just teachers, as even parents judge their children and compare them to other students who score A’s.

If students get high grades, then they’re considered teachers’ favorites. Those who score badly are treated badly. Some teachers try to help students who score low grades, while others judge such students and believe they are incapable of doing any better.

Students’ grades should not be used as a measure to judge their overall potential because grades are always subjective. They also eliminate the opportunity for self-evaluation. I believe that grades cannot measure one’s ability because not every A grade student is successful in life. Intelligence cannot be defined by grades or exams, and exam results do not determine success in life.
