A Touch to School Life

Everybody has been a student and students complain about their grades. Students seem to be right to complain about the grades because our grading system is not a good one and causes a lot of pressure on students but can we say that we should completely eliminate the grading system. Although we can’t take out the whole grading system, we can make some adjustments to make it fairer and decrease the pressure on students.
The major problem about the grading system is that it has very large intervals to determine grades. For instance every student who gets from 0 to 59 percent gets an “F” which means failure but is it true that every one in this interval has an equal knowledge. Is it fair that a student with 55 percent on an exam place in the same category, F, with a student who got 12 percent on the same exam? The solution to this unfairness can be dividing 100 points into 10 intervals where students getting below 60 still fails but showing how close he was to pass the course....
