Topic: grades (marks) encourage students to learn. Do you agree with this following statement?


All the students’ think that their grades are very important, so I do agree that grade encourage students to learn, even though it causes problem sometimes, but mostly it encourages because grades show that students can do, and it makes you to keep trying. However there are some problems, which will not encourage students to learn.
Whenever people see that they were doing better, they get more, better confidence because they feel that they can do it, especially, when students were not doing as good as in the past. In my experience, when I first came to Canada, I did not really do well because of my English, but I did better because of teachers’ comments, they told me not to disappoint myself, but keep trying hard. I think this is why grades encourage students to learn.
Mostly, if students get low marks, it doesn’t exactly encourage students, but it forces students to study to get out of low marks because it is very disappointing if I do bad on the test. So because people get low mark, they try harder to get study.
Sometimes it does not encourage because, it might remind that students are not smart enough to study his courses, it makes students to give up because of the marks if they felt that they have studied, but in my opinion, if you got low mark, you have not studied for the exam, or you do no know how to study, that was my case, but I do not think that students are not smart enough to study though.
Mostly, it encourages students to learn because it make them to feel shameful, so I agree with to topic with the reasons above, but sometimes it makes students not to study.
