Read "Drive" by Daniel Pink for details or start with my summary at http://bit.ly/jl7ara. Grades also build failure into the system, which makes no sense. I prefer the notion of you are not there yet as opposed to you failed and get to take the year over include the stuff you already mastered. Barely passing is also a problem as you will not be well prepared for the next level. Averaging is also evil as it locks in poor performances that you are stuck with for life. Keep up the good work.Douglas Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585254833466108022noreply@blogger.com
