just a little note to say that i am weary of judging myself by the grades i obtain "the process is more important than the end result" yet such a lofty ideal |

Lofty and crucial..if you are learning, isn't that the goal? The grades then are just icing on the cake! Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Roger on that one, faterider! I dislike the idea of having to grade someone on his/her understanding of the subject. Isn't the whole point to understand and be able to utilize the logic?!  Aye the perils of education! hehehe Great work here!  ~~Jamie    "There are no unlockable doors |

Grades are there for a purpose and painful as it seems to be judged, that is the way of it. You might be able to state that you have a grasp on the subject, but your teacher must be able to see that you do. You are a whole person. Your grades are but a measurement of a small part of you.

Kai, - 'the process is more important than the final result' The grades are for the teachers - and unless you are going into a life and death career - it has been my misfortune to learn that no employer gives a dang about your grades - and most don't even look them up - this judging by my work experience and that of my ex's and friends and the stories they told - and some were in personel and knew the ropes.

Right, that's it. I'm going to go through the whole list of yours here, seems I have a great deal to catch up with. This one isn't written as well as some of your others I think, but the idea is VERY familiar, and definitely something worh writing about. I often depress myself because I overrate the importance of my grades.. It's nice to share - kiss someone when you have a cold. |
