The Goal of Education

Knowledge is a blessing.

Grades strive to prove this.

Grades are like money.

People want money

because they believe that their lives would be easier with it,

but money is a means of convincing people to work.

People want outstanding grades

because they believe that they indicate their intelligence,

but grades are a means of convincing people to learn.

Grades and money use the same strategy;

they want people to take action.

The issue occurs when

people don't realize the purpose of these types of systems.
