Agreed. As an educator at a programme with no grades whatsoever (BFA in filmmaking) I can attest to the fact that when grades are not involved, and the students’ futures do not depend on whether they get a C or an A, they are free to focus on learning to a much greater degree.
I would love to see grades eliminated altogether from most educational programmes, at all levels.
