The following are letters to the editor of a school newspaper. Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades. Fortunately, most educators are becoming aware of the fact that students have different interests and abilities. However, the regimentation resulting from grades still exists. Grades often stifle creativity. Competing for better grades causes many students to turn down success on everyone. I do not demand as some extremists do, that grades should be abolished immediately. However, I do believe that less emphasis should be placed on grades. I hope that someday grades will become optional at Village High School, opportunities to pursue music, dramatics and sports. Grades impose an arbitrary standard. Magdalena Smith, President, Drama Club Let's face the facts about grades. Grades perform three basic functions.
