123 Words1 Page

While the teacher was walking around the room to check for completion of the homework, Eve started scribbling words across her paper. According to her paper, the cause of the Civil War was a single displacement reaction. Eve did not care that her answer was completely incorrect because the teacher gave her full credit for having any answer on the page. Numerous students like Eve are in the school system. Students like Eve are not receiving the proper education they are required to have to graduate, but they found a loophole in order to receive their diploma without learning anything: participation points. Teachers should limit the weight of participation and effort grades so students stop passing classes when they do not learn anything.

    Growing up in an environment that is so fiercely competitive about academics has taught me that failure is not an option. From as early as elementary school, I was vastly concerned with grades; more so than with learning. Like Korbey says, this fear and terror that I carry stops me from taking risks.
