Who Knows Your Marks? (Vanessa Bo)

A rule in my high school I really dislike most is students’ marks are ranked and posted for the whole school to know. In traditional education in China, the administrations are convinced that the students achieve a low score can be drove to learn from the ones of high score. This phenomenon has become a controversial issue in Chinese society.
It is undeniable that publicly announcement of test results has several benefits in some aspects. On one hand, students are easy to find out whether they have improvement or not. At the same time, they come to understand their weakness, and get good results in next exams. On the other hand, suffering some frustration, young people tend to be more inner-strength and more competitive.
However, the disadvantages of opening results are much more significant than the advantages. First, it only encourages few successes do excellent jobs in tests, but hurts other students have unsuccessful experiences. In addition, the high-mark students are always worried about being caught up with by their classmates. The result is everyone in class is under enormous pressure everyday. Second, on the surface, the students accept their marks to be posted publicly, but it is a severe hurt to their pride. Adolescents may be passive and lack of self-confidence when they grow up. At last, it leads to a troubled relationship between children and their parents or teachers. Most high school students regard their teachers as adversaries because their teachers announce the scores and rankings which makes them embarrassed and humiliated.
In my opinion, the value of students cannot be weighted by examination marks, because every student has different interests and talent. Parents and teachers should be their guides, counselors and friends to help them acquire knowledge of life but also academic.
