If there was no degree or grading system, would it better the way we educate ourselves? Weed out those not there to learn...
I should clarify: On a College level

No. It wouldn't help. Grades are meant as motivation to work hard. Those who are there to learn want to do their best possible work and so grades are good. It's the ones who aren't there to learn who would benefit short term by no degree or grading system--long term, the consequences to that generation would be pretty awful, in my estimation.

Yes I think that grades cover up a failure to teach. especially if it's something like multiple choice questions b/c that doesn't prove that they actually know the material. Plus that could be just temperary. Repition is the key to memorization and learning is a part of actually remembering and keeping the information you learn and using it in the future.

No, grades are something of a positive or negative reinforcement. People need motivation to do things, and earning a grade is adequate motivation. Those without motivation usually end up with poor grades anyway. They weed themselves out too.

to go places and experience things. I don't really travel, parents are too crazy to keep me in the same state, but things to learn are right in our backyeard. Imagination is a great learning tool.
