It all started when a mother of a sixth-grader posted her daughter\u2019s drawings on the social network Threads and asked users to rate them.<\/p>\n
However, the conversation quickly moved from discussing specific works to a more general topic \u2014 the appropriateness of grading in creative and sports disciplines.<\/p>\n
Many users came to the conclusion that subjects such as painting, music, and physical education should not be graded according to the traditional point system. Instead, they suggest using a \u201cpass\/fail\u201d format or maximum marks for effort, regardless of the results.<\/p>\n
Some teachers supported this opinion, emphasizing that the most important thing is the student\u2019s willingness to make an effort. In their opinion, even minimal student activity needs encouragement, not pressure through grades.<\/p>\n
Some parents share their experience, noting that in some schools creative disciplines are not strictly graded, while in others they remain the main element of assessing success. This only highlights the inconsistency of approaches.<\/p>\n
Some express the opinion that in regular schools the assessment of artistic disciplines should be more flexible, since children have different abilities. Examples are given when students with low grades in artistic subjects later successfully completed their studies in specialized artistic institutions.<\/p>\n
However, not everyone supports the abolition of grades. Critics of such an approach believe that this creates double standards. If we avoid assessment in “non-core” subjects, the question arises: why then does a strict system remain for subjects such as mathematics or physics, where students’ abilities also vary.<\/p>\n
In addition, some believe that grades help children understand their strengths and determine their future. Even if the subject is not their favorite, it remains an important tool for self-knowledge.<\/p>\n
Thus, the discussion showed that society has not yet reached a consensus. For some, grades are pressure and a formality, for others – an important guide. However, one thing is clear: the issue of fairness and approaches to assessment in schools continues to be relevant and is increasingly being discussed.<\/p>\n
We previously reported on how to transfer an apartment or house to a child. We also had news about the requirements for entering universities in 2026, as well as whether “A” students are really a relic of the Soviet past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
