JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 30 - "D" Grades

Yes, I do think schools should eliminate "D" grades. I feel this way because I think that if a student tries his/her hardest, they should at least earn a B. I think earning a "D" is not a way of COMPENSATING for not getting the best grade possible so why not just get an "F". I feel that to most people and a "D" is failing anyway. Also, I've realized that INITIALLY when school starts, I and other students have really good grades and then gradually they start to fall. I think that as the school year extends, the harder the work, but just because the assignments call for more effort doesn't mean a student should turn in mediocre work. Lastly, if a student feels that he/she needs help to maintain at least a "C" average they should INTERACT more with their peers and adults in their life so they can help them keep those grades up. In conclusion, we may have "D" grades in schools now, but I feel that soon the school board is going to realize that the grade makes students settle for less when they can try harder to earn a better grade.
