Grades

I hate grading, I think it is silly. I am in college. I am here voluntarily to learn and I believe too much emphasis has been put on grades themselves. I understand that grades should be a reflection of your learning, however, as a person with learning disabilities, my knowledge is not reflected in my grades. People who learn normally do not understand how difficult certain things are, like reading, for me, for example. I want to learn, not worry about tests. I know that it would be hard to keep students learning without tests, but I also think it may reversely help students to remember that they are in school to learn, not to get grades.
