Declaration Of Learning Independence

This document gives students the right to their own style of education, which promotes self interest and growth. Every individual person learns in a different way and has a brain that functions slightly different. Some students are more comprehensive with a step by step approach, some understand drawings or visuals, some understand verbal, and some comprehend through reading. Other students don't care to learn at all. If students are failing all of there classes every year, then forcing them to stay in school won't change their grades. It's obvious they are resistant to learning and therefore won't have the grades to continue in schooling. I've learned over the years that you can't make anyone do anything. Students should have the option in high school to decide where their calling is. Many kids go from studying books every day to working with stone. All those years of science and math sure won't be helping them with this task. Anywho... What would school be like if there weren't grades? I'm not sure, but I know for a fact that they are set up for a reason. Only certain individuals are capable of maintaining a learning capability without grades. Those are the people who are in school for the right reasons. If there weren't grades, I know that I wouldn't have made it to where I am today. The way I am perceiving information today doesn't need a grade, but that doesn't mean that is the right system for everyone. There are two sides to a grade. The good includes a motivator to keep up with things, the bad is an over rated system that causes stress.
