  • A comment on Conversation: Should public schools in the United States eliminate the traditional A to F grading scale? And if so, what assessment do we replace it with?

    Jan 7 2012: I am new to TED so the LONG post are a little much for me BUT. I will say this. American schools actually allow for way more creativity than schools elsewhere. In other school systems we take a test at 11 years old that determines our educational path.

    By the time you get to college you better know exactly what you want to be in life and failing is not an option. If you fail a class you take the year over not the class the YEAR. This is why people come up to the US for college.

    As for your self worth, parents/society place pressure on children in regard to their grades. every child is not going to be an A student even if they are siblings. every child should have their strengths praised, their weaknesses assisted and their passions nurtured.

    But you asked about grades. there has to be a way to measure comprehension. The issue is all teachers are not given the proper tools to teach. Our educational system is separate and definitely not equal
