Cybr1d,
I respect your opinion, maybe you should return it.
My theory:
Homework if done wrong, could reflect a continuous effort of wrong answers. I believe class should not be 40-45 minutes a class. But, much rather 3-4 hours per class. Therefore you have a teacher to refer too.
I don't agree with grades either. Nothing is lower than shame -- grades reflect in doing so.
School should only be for those whom respect it and learn from it.
C-b, are you trying to become an electrical engineer? Terms sound oh so familiar, of course that's when I used to sleep on my brothers couch when he was in college studying for an electrical engineer degree. He makes around 73 thousand a year just a little over what I make(entrepreneur).Quote:

Nah :D... I started out in Computer Engineering Technology, and the first 2 years of the degree are identical to the Electrical Engineering curiculum. I got sick and tired of it so I switched to Computer Networking Systems. I'll be doing that for the next two years and then I'll be going for degrees in Computer Forensics and Criminal Justice.Quote:

I'm sorry but I strongly think you're wrong on this one. It goes againts the basic human ability to learn/memorize something by doing it enough times. Its part of our nature....The quote I posted for you by Tomas Edison sums it up very nicely.Quote:

Unfortunately the attention span of a student is not that long, and it would make the class a boring experience. Yes you can include breaks in between, but sometimes the kids just cannot learn english and math for example, for 3 hours a day.
If you have 3 hour classes, you would still need to do extra work, which in this case would be considered Class Work. 3 hour classes would limit the amount of materials you take a day, from 6-7 to 2-3. That means you'd take a class once a week...leaving you a whole week without refreshing the information.
Not everyone looks at it as shameful. Many look at it as a way to see where they stand, and what they need to work on. Grades are also a reward system and a preparation for real life. You do good in a test, you get an A, and you feel pumped up about it. You get a C or a B, you look at what you did wrong and you try harder next time to get that A. If you get a D or below, you're just not putting enough effort on it. Its telling you where you stand. You need a way to distinguish between the hard working, smart students to the dipshits who go to school just so cut classes and be troublemakers. Grades are also used as a guideline for colleges looking at whom to accept at their institution. I could go on and on about why grades are so useful but i'll stop here.Quote:

It already is.Quote:
