                                                      possible year around schooling 

   Hi my name is Rajan Hayer and today I will be talking to you about the university of Toronto dropping letter grades and my opinion on this topic. the universities should drop the letter grading system because it adds a lot more unnecessary stress in a way of after finishing a final or a regular test the worst parts are the moments before the test and waiting for the results of your test and let's say that you have 2 tests in 1 day then you could be stuck thinking about the test you took earlier and not being able to focused on the test you are taking now! I think the ivy league schools have a good grading system of High Honours, Honours, Pass, Low Pass, and Fail. I think that is a very  good system because some students just want to hear that they passes and if they did good, bad or decent.

1 solution they could use to fix this problem is to just give good or bad and in some cases extra good 
so the student feels good if they get a good and there's no what did you get 82 ha-ha I beat you I got 83. That can really bring a kids self a steam down but now it will be what did you get I got a good same!
and it will be easier for teachers to mark and a lot faster so the teachers have more free time on their and they can plan the next day's lesson plan. It's a win win kids get to learn more and teachers get more free time on their hands! plus it also gives kids something to strive for they can try and get an extra good in the class. the teachers can use percentage if they want but not tell the students if that the way they like it.

So dropping letter grades does :A gives teachers more free time. B gives some kids more self e steam and they get to learn more. C the teachers don't have to change their routines they just don't tell their kids their percentage. it's a win win situation. and that is why I think the B.C government should drop letter grades and go with good or bad and possibly extra good!
