Most of us, we just judging our intelligence on the numbers written in our report cards. Dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson once said," students cheat because the school pays more importance of the grades than students paying learning." Through this the process of Department of Education, students will tend to become grade conscious, to the point that it may lead the students to do some negative act.

To the present curriculum of the Department pf Education, they hyper-valuated the student's General Weighted Average (GWA ). Because of this, the students nowadays just care about their grades. They've actually forgotten what should be the right way to attain it. They forgot that most important than those grades was those learning that they should caught.

For seeking of good and high grades of the students, sometimes it turns into something bad such as cheating. they just put their entire faith on the Google, Wikipedia, etc. They were sharing answers on their exams, their assignments, or even just on short quiz. They just copy the intelligence of others and hoping to get grades.

Moreover, when students doesn't satisfied on their grades, they will put all those blame on their teachers. They will say dirty words behind their back and they will curse them, either. They will not rely it directly to the teachers, so the teachers may have give them reasonable reasons on why that matter happen.

In addition, students were under a lot of pressure. Some will due to our own family commanding us to get high grades for our own sake, for our own future, for better opportunities. They not realize that before having high grades, having discipline and right conduct was a must. It is more important than those numbers in our report card. Also, those report card was not reliable. There were students that not always raising their hands , not always performing, just always quiet will be having more intellect and more intelligence than those students with high grades but it was just the intellect of their classmates and others. Who really knows how to measure the true intellect a student has?

Grades are just numbers, it may measure certain performance at certain time but it will, and it can't measure one's intellect. The true grading sheet are far beyond the four walls of the classroom and not on the few pages that we patronize nowadays. It's okay to worry on our grades but don't do it extravagantly in a situation that we do bad things just to achieve high grades. We just enjoy it and work harder to improve.

Grades are not a measure of self-worth. Getting good grades does mean something but getting good grades doesn't mean everything. Getting good grades should correspond with getting good education.
