    I think the A-F grading system in schools is outdated. Teachers should instead distribute Likes as they please … kinda like XP.

      Editing … Yeah one way it is quite inaccurate, on the other way meaningsless as the teachers rating might be arbitary as well. Thinking of it, getting grades in primary school wasn't motivating either, too many teachers are leaning to get your grade at what they expect from you instead of your skills are. It bothers me that by default 1-6 is used except 1-20 for one other school type. Grades weren't comparable back then, today won't be better.

      Editing … I'm worried about the role teacher biases could take in a Likes system. In the US we've had problems with "gifted" programs, where students deemed as gifted by their teachers receive superior education. Except studies have found that any child randomly sorted into a gifted program would perform at the level expected of a gifted student—teacher-selected gifted children are just the students teachers are most biased toward selecting (largely wealthier, whiter kids). I think some kids would unfairly be given more Likes, and would be given more opportunities to earn Likes, because of the role teacher biases play in education. But it's an interesting step away from A-F grades. It's a little like the Hogwarts points that kind of only mattered in the first book, except those were separate from their grades.

      Editing … It would basically prepare the poor fragile children to the harsh future of instergurm that inevitably awaits them. — Whether A-F or Likes, either way I'm glad that the children are taught primarily that they need a rating gratification in their life … as opposed to a focus on the actual content. The content is irrelevant, after all. We all know it.

      Editing … Sometimes I kinda regret not going to highschool. I bet it would have been an interesting part of my life. That and college/university. Never really did either one.
