Chapter 4: Creating a Culture of Success

The quote that jumped out at me was "It's less like a grade and more like advice for next time" (65). I completely agree with the concept of advice rather than grades.

I was always disgruntled when teachers wouldn't help you improve your score for the next marking period. Personally I would rather know what I am doing wrong and how to improve my work, rather than continue making the same mistake. I feel that more often than not, students are discouraged by the grades they get and assume that they are incapable of doing better.
