I’d give the grading system a solid D+

I’ve got 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-(8) reasons to switch to standards based learning. #WhyNot https://t.co/dVbFP5pJoR

Who wants to do a rhetorical think piece? JK you don’t have to, cause I already did. #IGotchYa https://t.co/Fi2A4fj8YB

When you see a sub in class and you know busy work is on the way😂😂😂 https://t.co/9QXDPbYX0Z

Here’s another issue we run into. The busy work that carries a massive weight on our grades, actually does nothing for us and often doesn’t prepare us for anything.😬 #WhyThough

You wanna know a secret? Our current grading system cause sooo many problems. Like procrastination. If we don’t enjoy what we are learning about and if we don’t learn anything period, we have basically ZERO motivation to do it.

As many of you know, this is a topic that I am VERY passionate about this topic. So much so I wrote a pretty darn good essay on it. Check it out. #LearningOverGrades https://t.co/gH9giXr3m7

You all don’t just trust my word huh? Fair enough. How about you just get it from professionals? I’ve compiled a list of GREAT sources here along with a short summary of each! #Learn #GradseSuck https://t.co/AuyZNZ0JRB

Me when I find out the school doesn’t have standards based learning...😂😬🤔 https://t.co/d7UhrfNGzO

Funny video that has real life implications. Often times in classes, we are forced to do stupid busy work that has no real life value. #WhySoap? #MindYoBuisness https://t.co/QwvpEsltv9

Straight up, the current grading system really makes me want to do this... #RIPvine. https://t.co/UNpAhyNkYN

Let’s get real guys. No one likes to have their time wasted by other people. It’s the reason telemarketers are so annoying and why we choose to ignore mall vendors. SOO WHY THE HECK ARE WE OK WITH BUSY WORK? School should be about learning. Not points in the grade book. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Grades Companion Piece @GradesPiece]

Powerful video here. Just goes to prove that nothing is ever perfect, and that if we want school to be it’s best, we have to keep moving forward! No stopping until our time at school is used to it’s greatest potential so that we can reach ours! #Change https://t.co/6ZeVb0QKnt

Raise your hand if you’ve ever stepped out of a class and felt like you literally got dumber ✋🏼 me too. #MakeAChange

[Grades Companion Piece @GradesPiece]

The goal is to put the focus back on learning and away from stupid little letters! Support the change! #gradessuck
