Grade Inflation High School

Students all over the country would love to get paid, but some studies have shown that students will do better at school if they get paid for getting good grades. Bad effects is that one year the school pays you for good grades, then the next year you don't get paid. Reasons kids (students) don’t get paid is because kids might cheat on test or commit crimes to get good grades. The students would not learn for fun because there desire to learn is gone because they only want to learn is for the money. One other thing is that students should be satisfied with their good grades but now all the students care about is the money.

18% of male and 17% of female did not answer this question. Going back to the Iowa study, the students that are involved in extracurriculars and have high grades may be because having a certain GPA may be required to participate. In the eighth question, 62% of males have said they had cheated to keep their grades, while 39% of females say they haven’t. This shows that most students are more concerned about their grades than what they actually learn in the class. According to a study at Harvard, cheating has been an increasing epidemic, even among high achieving students.

According to the NEA article it states, "Many teachers, also paying students for good grades leads to practical problems in the classrooms, those of which include pressure to inflate grades and conflict with the student and parent/guardian." This shows that if students get paid for school, there are chances that the student would be bullied on school grounds because the other pupils would want the payment/money if they didn 't receive any for themselves. Another issue is that the student receiving the payment would boast about their grades and would look down on other students thinking they 're better. Clearly, these issues can affect the child and others around them.

As a result, the money from parents increase student’s GPA. Sometimes parents of students pay for children’s grades. Accordingly, if their children get bad grades on all the tests, the students still could get good grades for the class. This issue is a highly controversial topic. Although paying for grades increases a student’s GPA, it actually gives students a negative consequence.

With the invitation to education most students wouldn’t achieve as high of a standard they are capable of. I believe this is a major part in education. Most teachers know the educational abilities of every student, but when they see that an individual isn’t reaching that mark they push them to do better for the benefit of the student. In both of these stories the teachers believed that the student could do better, and they tried their best to show the student what their capabilities are. One of the hardest parts in education for the students is to get the invitation from their teachers.

If there is a restriction on technology and schools for all grades than maybe cheating will fade away in schools. Study shows that one reason why students cheat is because they feel as if they almost have to because of their peers. In their article, “Source Is Important When Developing A Social Norms Campaign to Combat Academic Dishonesty”, Jennifer N. Engler and Joshua D. Landau maintains that “By this account, students cheat because they believe that their peers

“Cheating is an improper action that is never allowed in school”, might be a phrase you hear your teacher say right before you take a final exam. Sometimes you might be irritated when your teacher catches a student cheating during an assignment and starts yelling at him for a good 20 minutes. Despite that, maybe you are curious in the reason why that student would cheat. Many students all around America cheat while taking tests for a variety of different reasons. The biggest reason why students cheat in school is because they are pressured by their guardians to do well.

This task feels impossible as it is very complex and affects a large population of students in the United States. Closing the gap can’t be done overnight by simply changing one or two things, however, changing the way student success is measured is a necessary first step. Measuring students based on growth will help funding be distributed in a way that will benefit the students that need it most. Using the growth system of measurement also supports the school system in correctly identifying the best methods of teaching for the many different demographics within the United States school system. Using proficiency to measure the success of school causes a large amount of students to be forgotten.

Standardized tests cannot even accurately measure students, how could they possibly accurately measure whole schools? When teachers are stressed, they often show a short-temper towards their students. Children deserve to be educated by teachers who are happy and content in their field of work, not ones who know that they have to adopt corrupt curriculums and teaching styles. Standardized testing effects students and

They try to improve their score because everybody else has a better one than them so they feel they are not good enough. Should teachers be quitting due to the stress of testing? No, because they don't really go through as much stress as the students do when they are testing and the teachers should also be able to handle these things and not just quit because they think it is too complicated(Occupytheory). Does it affect the way teachers teach their classes? Standardized tests do affect the way teachers teach because they can only teach certain things and not what they think that the students might need.
