Grades
Here is some information that I believe in when it comes to grades. Although I understand that grades are necessary in our society and that grades are an amazing external reward for some students, I encourage you to look at grades with caution.

- Grades reflect what you understand or don't understand. Algebra is a whole new level of math for students and is usually the first time advanced students struggle in this subject. What is most important is how students react to the struggle. Do they give up and say they aren't smart enough OR do they come to class asking questions, get help from the teacher/friends, and do they complete extra practice problems.
