Academic Language Week 30 - "D" Grades

Schools should eliminate "D" grades. One reason is because it can compensate the amount of students by encouriging them to try and work harder to have a passing grade. Another reason is that the students may interact with each other and their teachers more to keep up with their grades by doing extra credit or making study groups with friends. And lastly when students first begin school or a new semester they initially haveno grades at all until they turn in their first work and get it graded. Taking away "D" grades have pros and cons but it all depends on the person some people just don't do well in school while others are just lazy and those who do well in school don't have to worry about not being able to get a "D" grade.
