Wherever education is highly respected,students are encouraged to do well in school,and the best way to measure performance is grades.So many benefits are attatched to good grades that they provide much encouragement for students to learn.Here are a few of them.

For one thing,grades mean prestige.Good marks result in high prestige.Poor marks result in low prestige.What could be higher praise than to call someone a “STRAIGHT-A STUDENT”?.A good grade means such respect that the grademay be its own reward.For a “STRAIGHT-F STUDENT” by contrast,society probably has no use at all.

Also high grades carry more tangible benefits.In  many ways,good grades in school means prosperity.A straight-A student in high school is likely to go on to college,get an advanced degree,and have a successful career with a good income.Such a student can get scholarships and other financial aid based on merit.Awards and prizes with money attatched also come more easily to high ranking students than to students with lower grades.

To sum up the  value  of high grades depends  on how freely they are awarded.If  it  is easy to get an A grade  then the  value of high grades diminishes. This  is why grade inflation has become  a problem.At  many  schools,however,grades still  carry so much weight that they provide a powerful incentive to learn.GOOD GRADES EQUAL SUCCESS…
