Ranting on Marks!
_
90s, 80s,
70s, 60s, or even fails. Marks. Why are they to decide what our future will be?
I honestly think marks are useless it’s our brains we use. But no, marks have
to decide if we go to university or college or even go to work. What if we do horrible in science/
mathematics but we have a really good creative mind. Society is based on
performance and if you have a poor performance you drown and if you have good
performance you rise and get a good career. Marks are just something to satisfy
a piece work, to give a way to satisfy our school system. Marks are
meaningless; they only bring down someone’s day if it’s bad. I mean you can try
so hard and it just doesn’t seem to pay off. But to pursue a career you have to
get good marks. If you get bad marks it doesn’t mean your dumb, it means that
maybe you don’t understand the subject, like math honestly when did 2+2=4 have
to become 2xy+2y=4 and why do I have to calculate sides and lengths of a
triangle if it’s not in my future. URG! Then there are
the strict parents who care about every mark that their child gets. I guess
they put more pressure on the student because the student may feel that they can’t
disappoint them. But then again the parents are influenced by the society and
what society says. So let’s blame society for everything it would be easier but
are they to blame?
