Ranking

I was thinking about the article that we read. In particular, the section about ranking. I talked about it in class, but I think it was a really interesting part. The kids that get A's, get too big-headed and overly confident in their work. The kids that get D's lose all confidence and do not want to try anymore. I find this to be true. Growing up, I got all A's. I thought I was beyond incredibly smart and never needed to improve on anything. My brother was quite the opposite. He needed the push of confidence and never got it. All his teachers gave him bad grades and it made him not want to participate in school anymore. Grading is a difficult subject and I know I still have a lot to learn about it.
