Good Grades

Individual professors inflate grades after consumer conscious administrators hound them into it” (Staples 1). Another reason they do this is because many students will threaten that they will give bad reviews on the school if they aren’t given the grades they want: “Writing in the last issue of the journal Academe, two part-timers suggest that students routinely corner adjuncts, threatening to complain if they do not turn C’s into A’s” (Staples 1).

A Response to Steven Vogel’s “Grades and Money” In “Grades and Money,” Steven Vogel explains some of his main concerns with the education system today, particularly how student’s and teacher’s views of grades has changed. Vogel tells us that when he was in college, no one talked about their grades or even took them as seriously as many students do today.

The A just confirms that” and she goes on to say that, “This is not to say that I would never praise my son for doing well in school. But my praise is not meant to reward or elicit future achievements, but rather to express my genuine delight in the satisfaction he feels at having done his best” (Arguelles, par. 4).

Teachers should be paid more because they contribute more to the future of the world than any other career, help students psychologically and financially, and most students in a survey chose that teachers need to be paid more than their annual salary.
