In recent years, more and more concern has been raised about what students are getting out of school. Educators are beginning to realize that school has become less of a place for learning and more of a resource for good grades on a transcript.
As a result, getting a good grade on a test can be higher on a student’s agenda than really learning the material. Achieving a high grade, however, doesn’t always bring the feeling of success.
As a student, even if you didn’t learn anything about a certain subject but still got an A, do you feel successful?
In similar fashion to the New York Times’ “Room for Debate”, the Warpath invited a guest writer from each grade to answer this question with their own experiences and beliefs.
While each student has unique ideas, it is clear there is a disconnect between what it means to score well on a test, and what it means to truly be successful.
