Maybe it will get us to rethink the grading system. Do we need to grade them, or do we need students to learn things? After all, if they grow up to be incompetent, they will be the ones suffering from it.

But I know it's easier said than done: if you get a student to realise that the time they spend at school is a unique opportunity for them to learn and grow, then you're job is almost done already.
