Grades Shouldn't Be Abolished

Grades are the only way that we can know where we stand academically in each subject. If we are doing poorly in a subject, the grades we get can help us see where we are failing and need improvement. This way we can improve and do better the next time we see that problem or item on another classwork. Even though some students do their best in class, there are some students who are just plain out lazy. They block themselves from doing work and end up doing nothing; this leads to failing a class or two. The reason why some students are lazy is because they don't understand it quite well and prefer not to ask questions and leave them unresolved. Other students simply prefer not to do anything. Although sometimes the grades students get may be accurate, there are times when they're not. Why? Well it's because the teacher just gives out grades; some don't take the time to actually grade the work. Instead, they just take a look at the paper and decide what grade they'll get. Test grades are also a big part for us. Many students don't have good testing skills so when it's time to take a test and they do a little less than they would usually perform on their classwork. These testing scores are very important when applying for a job or any colleges or institutes. They look mainly at the test scores; from there they decide whether or not you get hired or accepted into college. Therefore I say that grades shouldn't be abolished. They're the only way teachers and students see their progress throughout the school year.
