That is a very good point, although I don’t know how much of an impact it has in university where good marks can have huge consequences getting jobs or getting into professional and graduate school.LostMarbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123440130769897997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311256008594820933.post-91051576595534238342008-11-08T23:43:00.000-05:002008-11-08T23:43:00.000-05:00It could lead to some awkwardness in any situation...It could lead to some awkwardness in any situation. In uni it would shame people if they had poor grades and I don't think the shame would help them improve, necessarily. It would possibly make them feel bitter and result in a drop out, if anything. In high school, well...<BR/><BR/>This is anecdotal, too, but I had a high school teacher tell the class I was in that when he was in high school they WOULD post the grades of everyone up on a wall senior year, and a result of this, he had to do some serious failing that year to make up for the straight As he was getting the previous three years so he wouldn't get pushed off from his group of 'normal' friends and forced into a situation where he could only interact with the 'nerd' clique. I have a suspicion that it would be like that in many, MANY high schools and it certainly would not bode well for students who wanted to make it into a good college but also valued their social life.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08128159006302248607noreply@blogger.com
