My hyper-conservative statistics teacher presented that “grades” argument about 4 months ago. My rebuttle silenced him…
In a classroom setting, the point of educating is to improve the individual student. In order to evaluate progress, each student must submit separate work and tests (If you want to know how Johnny is doing, you don’t have Steve take a test for him).
In the job world, I may ask for help to finish a project at my work. In class, I cannot ask a classmate to help do my homework or take my tests. I know that I need to retain the information taught and the only way I can do that is by doing my own work.
As said before, you don’t inherit intelligence or education. I cannot purchase or steal intelligence from anyone else.
The comparison is ludicrous at best.
