A Proposal to Abolish Grading

In every education dodge, grading and testing be done simultaneously so as teachers and lectures potentiometer know the capabilities of their students and whether they sire assimilated what have been taught and used effectively.Most of universities and higher learning institutions as prerequisite of students admission is being metre-tested before granted admission, the arrangement serve the universities assessing applicants capabilities in correspondence to their applications.The grading system which is conducted after certain amount of academician units covered of students respective courses or subjects, unconnected from assessing students capabilities, also facilitate them in analyse especially for lazy students. When students know that on that pull down will be grading for the tests they argon departure to do, definitely they are going to study lumbering for it.I tend to take issue with Paul Goodman in his proposal to exterminate grading as the notion has been very much effective for quite some time and has helped most of students scoring good grades point though they were lazy. But to Paul Goodman, who proposed the abolition of grading take this as bullying students as he argues that Many students are lazy, so teachers try to goad or threaten them by grading. In the tenacious run this must do to a greater extent harm than good.(Paul Goodman, Mis-Education, 1971).Nevertheless, grading system facilitate in discovering people weaknesses being students or applicants to the higher learning. Through grading students can be able to spot their weaknesses in accordance with the type of grades they get either low or high. If low past students have an opportunity of knowing how to gear up it so as to improve their grades, therefrom becoming knowledgeable.Despite the good intention the system has, there are setbacks that have been spot by Paul Goodman as he argues that But if the aim is to discover weakness, what is the point of down-gradi ng and punishing it, and thereby inviting the student to veil his weakness, by faking and bullying, if not cheating?(Paul Goodman, Mis-Education, 1971).In conclusion, redden though students might cheat during their assignments, provided they will be working hard in the tests and examinations which will help them study. rank and testing system still assist students to learn more through the death penalty of their grades.ReferenceGoodman Paul, A proposal to abolish grading, Mis-Education, (1971), Chapter 10, John Wiley New York
