Academic Language Week 30 - "D" Grades

No schools should not eliminate "d" grades because that just causes more stress for kids knowing that they have to keep their grades above a c to stay away from turning their grades into a F. It could compensate from an f because it motivates kids to move foward but the problem is it can cause stress as well. If schools eliminate "d" grades then students will have a hard time staying up late and working on school subjects so when they go to school and try to interact with other students they are already too tired. Initially we chose to leave as a d so I think why change it now when we could just leave it as it is. Schools should not eliminate "d" grades because again, of too much stress that is put on the kids.

  1. I have to disagree because i think they should be eliminated because D's should not count as passing on report cards.
