Why not just stop grading students altogether, then their intellectual worth won't be reduced to a number. Stop testing students too. Its too stressful and students may get upset at their scores if they don't do well. We shouldn't make them do any work either. Work is very difficult, and if you don't do very well at your job you may feel worthless or stressed out. We shouldn't be allowed to have kids anymore either, because if you are alive you will eventually die, and death is really scary.
This is so stupid. Honor kids if they do well. How detrimental can that be? I didn't make the honor roll in High School, and I didn't excel in sports. And believe it or not, I turned out just fine.
