Alfie Kohn
When schools cling to letter and number ratings, students get stuck in a system that undermines learning.
I remember the first time that a grading rubric was attached to a piece of my writing… Suddenly all the joy was taken away. I was writing for a grade—I was no longer exploring for me. I want to get that back. Will I ever get that back?
—Claire, a student (in Olson, 2006)
