Nowadays each group member get same grade, is it good method to evaluate students? In modern society, rather than accomplished by a single person, many works require a group of individuals of different backgrounds working together, forming scale effect to get the job done in the most time-saving and effective way. Though group working at school is an effective approach for students to obtain collaborating skills, its grading method, which is to mark each group students with same grade, is not as a sensible idea as it seems to be. While a group of students group working on a project , firstly they will sit together sharing their ideas until the best idea is taken. Unfortunately we have to admit that there exists distinction between the intelligence and sophistication levels of different people. In order to get higher group grade, a few elites’ ideas will be taken repeatedly, while in the meantime other students’ effort will be but in vain. In fact, every student has the same right to get their ideas up in light, but some students do not get their opportunity just for not being elite. And for some students, especially those whose ideas were underestimated, may become less motivated and more likely to rely on other group members instead of committing themselves into the team-working, or at least getting their own hands on the project. This will be pretty much like the early 1960s, when the Chinese farmers were forced to work in the public field because the authorities thought massive collaboration would boost the agriculture outlet. To everyone’s surprise, during that time the red China suffered the most serious famine since its founding. People were reluctant go to work because of the lack of incentives, and even they work harder than anyone else in the collaborative he could not get extra food stamp(in the students’ case the grade). Public farmlands covered with weeds, millions starving. From the competitive perspective, I believe that a modification to the existing grading system of school group-work is necessary. A grading system without incentives to competition will eventually differentiate the students, making the smarters smarter, while at the same time the rest frustrated.
