The following TED talk by Will Richardson on education throws light on various issues with grades/marks. It shows how grades are not part of learning at all while most of us are only improving grades in name of educational reforms.
There is nothing very new that he speaks about, but he reiterates most of the things we know about our current education system with a greater stress. What I really liked about this talk is his appeal to strive for "Different" way of education instead of striving to get "better" results from current education. And how he arouses us to "take back the debate of education in our hands."
What is different ? How different, he doesn't leave much clue that's why this video becomes yet another good critique of education. This "Different" has to be collectively formed and deciphered by teachers, educationalists, parents and students.
