TOEFL essay: Does grade encourage students to study? #1 (permalink) Sat Jul 04, 2009 19:33 pm   TOEFL essay: Does grade encourage students to study?
 

Does grade encourage students to study? In my opiniion grades do not encourage them to study. Especially in elementary schools I would prefer not grading at all. Low grades usually make pupils feel ashamed and that results in passive behavioring and thinking lowly of themselves. And diametrically, those who always get good grades become arrogant and start look down on the rest of students. They start divide into groups of "smart" and "stupid" students. BEcause of that "not- so - smart" students don't beleive in their potentials and wouldn't take wide strides in their lives.
Of course we should mark and thank students for what they have done, in this case nice verbal thanking would be good enough.
In a nutshell grading does more damages than usefulness to a child mentality.

Hi Kitosdad,

I've written one more eassay please do correct it. Thanks

Does grade encourage student to study?

I feel grades encourage students to study. Especially in elementary level children will not know to look down upon each other. Now a days children are matured enough to help each other when they are together. Teachers should also take part by encouraging low graded students by helping them personally to take part is all the activities or talk to their parents. They can also make good & low grade student sit together and help each other.

Children are depressed when their parents are not with them / help them in their studies. This leads them to get low grade. As per me all children are brilliant due certain circumstances they become arrogant, dull etc.

In some student case they can’t withstanding other children getting good grade than them, so this makes them to study better and try to get a good grade. But in other student cases parents would come forward to help their children.

Thanks,
Hema

You'll improve the more you write and think in English. It is an obstacle that most non-native speakers encounter whilst writing.

Kitos.

Hi Hema, I'm not sure that you can do this. You are already registered in that name on the Forum.
Perhaps if you were to re-register, but again, I'm not sure that you can do this either.
If you were to get someone else to register, then you could use that account,

Kitos.
