Here are two letters from our readers expressing their concern about school assessment(评价):
(1)
Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades. Fortunately, most educators realize that students have different interests and abilities. However, grade-based assessment is still very common. Grades often holds back creativity. Competing for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to take up music, drama and sports. Grades are also an unfair measure of a student’s ability. I do not demand, as some extremists do, that grades should no longer be recorded. However, I do believe that less importance should be placed on grades. I hope that some day grades will become optional(选择*的) at Village High School.
Magdalena Smith, President
Drama Club
(2)
Let’s face the facts about grades. Grades perform three basic functions. First, grades get students to work at their highest level of competence. Second, they act as an encouragement for hardworking students and as a warning to those who are not. Finally, grades are an effective standard by which to measure students’ achievement. Good grades help students to get jobs and to get into university.
I’ve spoken with a number of students who have jobs, and most of them say that they were employed mainly because of their grades. My grades helped me get a part-time job and will help me into university next year. I think grades are extremely important at Village High School.
Simon Harper, Member,
