Changing the US Grading System


Changing the US Grading System
The Issue
I believe that we MUST change the education system's unfair and unjust approach to grades and here's why. According to https://www.healthline.com/health-news/more-middle-school-students-killing-themselves it states "First, younger kids who died by suicide are more likely to have been diagnosed with attention deficit disorders than depression, according to a study that came out in September" this shows that people cannot get help and where are most students? School of course and most students also are worried about grades. According to https://jprsolutions.info/files/final-file-5b669833222de7.71860910.pdf it says "When a student experiences high levels of stress or chronic stress, regardless of her age or grade, it can interfere with her ability to learn, memorize, and earn good grades -- as well as lead to poor physical, emotional, and mental health" which is meaning that basically stress causes bad grades and bad grades are causing stress making worse and worse grades until BOOM your child is being held back, BOOM!!! your child is now finishing summer school and is still in 5th grade at the age of 21. WE MUST STOP THIS MADNESS WE MUST HELP OUR CHILDREN MORE,
