Do grades encourage students to learn?

yes, grades actually encourage students to learn and do better because once they realize that they could actually do good they want to do better... and sometimes succes actually gets addicting

Sometimes getting A's is a good motivation for students to continue learning. But F's do the opposite, the kids think since they have an F why bother trying? Some kids settle for D's. they don't care for A's.

They can be a form of a goal to a student.

Grades are actually a measure to how well a student is doing. So it can be a barrier for some and a blessing for others.

Hope this helps!

i do no longer supply grades till extreme college. I homeschool.... each each now and then my son will inquire from me to 'grade' a paper. For me, I only prefer them to income - i'm no longer fascinated in testing or attempting to stump them.... i comprehend in the event that they 'get' it... i will see that from speaking with them relating to the subject and finding at their paintings. i think of it could motivate some - and discourage others. aggressive scholars could thrive, yet youngsters with low self-nicely worth and that warfare with discovering will only get extra annoyed.

Parents peer pressure, Promise of boobies, a new car if you graduate, and a fun teacher.

depends on the student. They never did do much for me.
