Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Grades (marks) encourage students to learn.
I believe that grades do not encourage students to learn, just to achieve a specific score to pass by in a course. To me there is a big difference between getting an A and learn to life. Because sometimes the type of the test does not measure if the student learned or not. Also, would be possible that the student just had previously memorized the subject to getting a high score. This is a common characteristic of the current students.
Learning it is a process that requires time and patience to construct. And our schools and universities in general does not have enough time to give for each student an opportunity to learn. Especially because each one of those has your proper time to learn, some slower one’s, others faster one’s but everyone can be able to learn. So, usually the teachers expose the subject and apply a usual test to evaluate if the student has been leaned or not. Definitely, this is not the best whey by students learning. Where is the time to think about the subject, to discuss with other students?! Where is the time to process a new information? The usual answer is: Take the test and please getting another A.
It is pretty understandable that the students have been create a type of strategy to do not be knock down by the educational system. The general thought It is like: - “if the high score could give me a better opportunity to getting into a good university. Why do not memorize all the subject to do this? It does not matter if tomorrow I do not remember nothing about it.” Unfortunately, this type of students is most usual then appears. And learning may not matter anymore.
The education system does not allow to the student to prioritize learning. They just want a good grade and that is all. Is extremely necessary right now to change the way that how the system work. Because, at the end the society will pay the price.

Learning it is a process that requires time and patience to construct [1]. And our schools and universities in general does not have enough time to give for each student an opportunity to learn. Especially because each one of those has their proper time to learn, some slower one’s, others faster one’s [2] but everyone is able to learn. So, usually the teachers expose the subject and apply a usual test to evaluate if the student has been learned or not. Definitely, this is not the best way of students learning [3]. Where is the time to think about the subject, to discuss with other students?! Where is the time to process a new information? The usual answer is: Take the test and please getting [4] another A.
It is pretty understandable that the students have been created a type of strategy to do not be knocked down by the educational system. The general thought It is like: - “if the high score would give me a better opportunity to getting into a good university. Why do not memorize all the subject to do this? It does not matter if tomorrow I do not remember nothing about it tomorrow.” [5] Unfortunately, this type of students is the most usual that appears. And learning may not matter anymore.

[1] construct is not the right word in this context, because the subject is the process of learning. You could say that knowledge takes time and patience to build/construct.
[2] "faster ones" since it is a plural, not a possessive.
[3] better: not the best way for students to learn
[4] "get" is the verb, and "getting" is the gerund. Always use the verb with the preposition "to"
[5] it sounds more natural to place the time at the end of the sentence. It sounds more formal when the time is placed before the verb.
