GRADE-SLAVES! (Complete)

I wrote this because I was a grade-slave before. Well, it's according to experience. I was not going to write such a topic when we had this debate in our English 3. The topic is about students in Public schools--not good enough in speaking and writing in English--or something like that. The thing is who's fault is it? The teacher? The students? The family? Things like that. Well, I voted for the students who are grade-motivated. But my professor told me that grades are not just numbers. I did not continue with my argument since I don't feel like talking especially since most of my classmates are taking Philosophy. I don't want to embarrass myself so I just shut my mouth and listen.

Anyway, according to my sociology I; the agents are not only the school and family. It includes church, government, peer and the mass media. But anyway, I hope you'll read this. And if you find it, inspiring or something positive, share it to someone also. Oh, and I've written an article regarding this also because in my Filipino 3, we are required to make a magazine. It is entitled "SAPOL!" or in English it's like "GOTCHA"..hehe.. I couldn't write it in Filipino so I wrote it first in English. The problem is I can't translate it to Filipino..haha.. That's my problem..haha..anyway.. enjoy reading!!..heheh

I wish grades were not the basis to pass a course or to get a career. A student should not be forced to attend his classes nor be required to review for an upcoming exam.. You see? Learning tend to excel because they're required to do so. Abolish these things and man will naturally seek wisdom and learning, surely he'll find pleasure in it rather than pleasure. --JASMIN WALES
