Reform education so school is about learning, not grades. Let those who teach make the rules, not those in an office!

Created by J.L. on January 26, 2014

Nowadays, school is only about grades. Everything that is taught is so you can pass the next test, or be prepared for next years tests. As a student, something about this doesn't seem right. Kids, believe it or not, do actually enjoy learning. How can they enjoy it when so much stress is put on getting good grades and passing test after test. Just this past week a girl tragically took her life because of the stress grades put on her. If some of the pressure can be taken off of grades and put on to actually learning, students will begin to enjoy learning. If schools teach subjects that kids will need in life, regardless of profession, kids will enjoy school. Things like learning how to file taxes, how to think DIFFERENTLY. It's insane how a persons life can be decided by a few test scores.
