Abolishing Grading? Umm....

I believe that grading should be established, but then again it shouldn't. My reason for saying that is that grades let the student have an understanding of where there strongest in and where they are weaker, but grades also a form of segregation of the wise and the meek.
Children no that if they pass the test that they'll pass that grade, so all that they have to do it make sure that they no what's on the test instead if learning for personal gain, they are learning just pass the test.
On the other hand, grades are kind of, to me, a depressing manner to loo forward to every nine weeks. Some people know that people are going to be looking at grades to determine whether you're "dumb as bricks" or top of the class material.
I know that when I'm learning I do believe I should be learning what may be useful on standardize tests, but at times I grow old with learning test material, and wonder how will this benefit me in the long run.
I value the fact that we are being graded on other than tests, because I know that if we didn't have grades I wouldn't know where I stand as far as the understanding of the subject. Grade are vital to the learning process to because it's gives you an understanding of where you are in the subject.
Grading in schools really is circumstantial situation. Some children look at grading as a helper in their learning process, while others look at it as depressing system only driven by the hunger for impressing the school, state, and national boards of education.
Me, myself, I look at it as a blessing and a curse, because though I am glad know where I stand I dread the days when I have to go to homeroom and receive the paper of fate.

Let Me Vent

I used to think that everyone hates, or that everyone has a personal goal of making sure that nothing goes "Kayla's Way." But after taking a good look at myself I've come to the conclusion that there's no need for me to always be upset about someone saying this, or someone saying something about me, whether it be directly or indirectly.
My pastor always says that people are going to talk about you until the day you die, so to me it doesn't matter to me with you like me, love me, dislike me, or just flat out hate me. God didn't put me on this Earth to impress or for you make your own fun of me; he put me here to make a difference at serve a more powerful purpose than being someone's laughing stock, cruel joke, or punching bag.
I tend to be very quiet and am only express when I write things down, because to me, it seems that the paper and pen, or pencil, are the only things that can truly understand, and interpret exactly what I mean. The things that go through my head on a daily basis only make sense when I write then down. I believe that the only way I can express in an understanding and complete thought than correctly understood.
Yeah, I might not be the most perfect person, but everyone makes mistakes, and it takes sincerity to admit your faults and flaws, instead of making yourself out to be perfect, or as if you are better than everyone else. No one is better than anyone, and certainly no one is perfect.
It's always better to express yourself instead of holding it all inside. To express yourself gives yourself a source of clearance; a breathe of fresh air, you can say.
Thanks for "Letting Me Vent"
