Answer 2

It would make me scared and I'm a kid! =s

Answer 3

I don't think I'd like that. There's a big difference between an A and a C and they should just get the same grade. I don't think I'd be more nervous but I don't like the idea.

Answer 4

it would make kids really nervous if they were only given a pass or fail, because the kid could be one mark off a pass, so it would be unfair. And this kid would be given the same mark as another kid who may have only got one mark on the whole test!

hope this helps

Answer 5

Well, it depends on what it's based on... I mean, if I got a C on a test and that was just marked as Pass, I'd be super happy because I got the same thing as some kid with an A. It depends at what point you end up with the fail grade though. =/

Answer 6

I had two classes like that in college and it made very nervous.  However, it also made me work harder to ensure a passing grade...

Answer 7

It depends on the student.  Some like it because it doesn't put a definite "Label" on them.  Others who work very hard for their high grades would think it's unfair.  I found these 3 websites that might help you sort out your thinking. I gave pass/fail grades for an internship course because my university required it.  We never had any complaints.  If kids started out with Pass/Fail from a young age, I don't think it would make them nervous, but I do think parents would not like it because they understand the traditional grading system and, unfortunately, like to compare their children with others' children.
