The power of believing that you can improve Grades should be banned, because grades and not the learning that became THE goal of students like myself. Learning and how well you've mastered the concepts and the continuation to improve upon those concepts on your own is what should be encouraged, what should be the goal of education. So that students will learn to be their own best teachers, seeking to learn on their own for a life time in amazing creative and curious ways. After I got my A, I didn't care much for the subject anymore when grades were THE goal. But when grades became merely a reflection of how much I've learned, I began to have the courage to try my best in the class, even if the topic was hard to grasp; that courage to just try my best freed me from worries and fear of not getting the A because I cared about the learning not the grade. Thus cheating, cramming, anger, fear, or giving up on the subject are gone, because learning became THE goal, and just the satisfaction of doing my honest best to learn was fulfilling enough, even if I didn't get an A. However, the A usually comes as I give my best into learning. And now I have both, the knowledge and the A, when I made learning THE goal.
