I was in a high school school physics class and jokingly asked the teacher for an a, and they told me that if they gave me an a they had to give everybody an a, is that what I wanted?
I hesitated for a moment and then said yeah of course I want that yes. Give us all A's.
I was immediately shouted down by every single other student in the class that it wasn't fair.
And I was like, you guys know that grades are all fake anyway and this is all b******* right?
Hahaha yeah, humans are weird
Here's how we can get it to work: everyone gets As but also everyone gets a sticker for each correct answer. Stickers are worthless save the value you give them, the student with most stickers wins nothing except being able to say they have the most stickers.
What??? Grades aren't fake.
Just like money.
A grade is a representation of the knowledge you have gathered.. money isn't real, George. But you can absolutely judge a person's sum knowledge. Jesus fucking Christ
Hahahahahahaha omg, I gamed grades all over the place in school. Learning the syllabus is like 20% of the work you do for an entire class. I would test homework assignments to see if the teachers would even read it and there were many times where I could completely hand in just a blank paper digitally and they mark me with a hundred.
In America at the very least grades are a complete joke that stems from an education system that prioritizes memorization and only includes deductive reasoning as an afterthought
You just gamed yourself IMHO...
Improve the humble. Graduated fine, learned everything important, paid well.
My high school classmates agree with you.
