The Grade Point System of School in the United States
Naperville’s school officials recently voted to stop using a class ranking system. By no longer ranking students, the Naperville is squarely in line with a trend that is fast sweeping the nation, as more and more private and public schools are dropping the practice. The goal, proponents say, is to cut down on the hyper-competition and lessen the stress at such a critical learning point and maturation curve in kids’ lives. Some 80% or more public schools still report rankings to inquiring universities and colleges, but a growing number of high schools in the Chicago area have already adopted the practice.
"It’s a high bar we set, and it should be," said Naperville Superintendent Alan Leis. " But there needs to be more than wrestling over who’s better than who." Class rankings, a tradition at many schools, have long helped universities and colleges weed out the weak students from the strong, the ones with not only promise but the ambition to excel and meet the rigors of higher education.
Students and their parents increasingly fight over who gets to be number one, and the damage that can be done—both academically and psychologically—to those who lose out far trumps the benefits of the glory attached to such titles, according to Dr. Scott Hunter, a clinical psychologist and school consultant at the University of Chicago Hospitals. "The reality is some kids don’t really shine until they enter into adulthood, and they risk being ignored by the very places and people where they could greatly succeed," adds Hunter.
Not surprisingly, there are still lots of disagreement about the new policy; some parents are worried that it hurts high-achieving students’ chances of getting over the bar, while forcing colleges and universities to rely on perhaps less reliable or easily gauged measures or on standardized tests I ike the ACT or SAT.
"It makes it a little more opaque for us on the admissions side, but we fully understand it," said Jim Miller, director of admissions at Brown University. "It’s conceivable a student could get a B in gym and get knocked down 40 places in rank. So we’re getting more used to it, and probably half our applicants now come from schools that don’t have rank. You just have to ascertain, through student profiles and other means, the strength of a schedule and student performance relative to other students."
From the first paragraph, we can learn that______.
