A GRADING SYSTEMA grading system in education is a system that is used for assessing the performance of
students that is based entirely on points. The ongoing debate about grading system is what I
intend to speak today. I will speak for the topic, that grading system should be abolished today.
Grading system should be abolished as it does not encourage students to think out of the box.
Students become confined to limited knowledge, and their focus remains to get higher scores.
Getting involved in intellectual speculation is much more complicated for the students when they
stay away from developing thinking out of syllabus. Students focus only on the limited
knowledge and master the skills in order to be part of the competition.
The grading system of giving points and percentages is an act of discrimination. Each
student is different, therefore for some students grading is a motivating factor while for some it is
not a motivating factor. The students who are motivated by marks perform better, and other
students do not, which categories the students into 'good' students and 'bad' students.'
The grading system is highly pressurizing for students. Grades can even make honest
children's into cheaters. Since the education culture is based on a grading system, students with
less mark are faced with challenges such as unemployment and rejection. In fear of such
situations, students often opt for unethical measures towards achieving high grades. Students
cheat in order to gain good grades which will fetch them good colleges and excellent
universities, eventually helping them to secure a successful job (Valenzuela, Bellei and Ríos,
2014).
Eliminating the grading system will encourage self-evaluation and joining other clubs of
their interest. Through conversations and narrative feedback, adults learn and develop their
performance. Similar opportunities should be given to students as well. It will develop their
