Grades, grades!..... What do they say?


Some may say grades need to communicate and show students’ development and effort. Others say teachers should not count on the effort at the moment they assess, only what students are able to do.
Grades need to reflect students ' learning process and assessment as well as the teaching process followed and how effective it was. But there are many other factors that can influence. For example : Students ' anxiety in the moment of doing a test takes a student who had study a lot to fail.
Everything corresponding to behavior and development are two different aspects of education that influence one to each other but are very important at the same time. Have you ever mixed these two aspects when grading, is it all right to do so?

I disagree on not grading the behaviour in strudents performance. Interpersonal relationships should be also graded which for me means that we are educators. So in other words: Simple teachers may only see academic performace, but potential educators may also take into account how students relate to tohers and help other in the wild and crazy learning process. - Lorena-
