Grades Vs Comprehension, Debate Options

[*Programmer*]

When it comes to Academic "Comprehension". Students tend to worry more about getting an "A" in there classes by remembering the work temporoary with no intension after taking a test or quiz to apply it to there everyday lives. rather then learning the work and applying it into there everyday use so they won't be caught off guard by it again. they forget about it and are just happy with the grade they recieve afterward.

i do admit some work may seem pretty irrelivant. but why does the grade matter more then the work that you should be comprehending and applying to your everyday life. as long as you comprehend it correctly you should be ok. You are at school to learn or that is what i was lead to believe.

NOW...... The "grade" is a alphebetic rating system which a school uses to categorize your strenghs and weaknesses...YOU SHOULD NOT SEE THE GRADE AS THE ONLY REASON YOU ARE DOING ALL THIS WORK. and as such...you should only use it as a TOOL to learn more in the area's you and your teacher feel you need work on. . The Work is what you should be comprehending. NOT THE GRADE. I feel learning is it's own reward.

on the contrary, i know C students who have much more knoledge than A students.

but the reality in real life is skills, not knowledge.

so what if you had to google for the answer, as long as you could get the answer.

Same. I know a few C students who are hella lot smarter than me and I'm usually an A student.

I'm an A student and I google for my answers everyonce in awhile.

AND!

I remember what I do. Like just 5 minutes ago, I was doing like stuff about the civil war, and I last did that in the 7th grade, and i'm in 10th now.

Algebra isn't a freshman course. I was doing that in the 7th/8th grade.

I just took it again in the 9th. I can't remember why though...

Algebra normally is, I took pre in 7th grade, (but the teacher was crazy so I had to take it again in 8th) I have the choice of taking it in 8th
