Grades are the best proof

Grades are indeed one of the important indicators for measuring abilities, but they are not the only standard. Grades can reflect an individual's learning effectiveness and knowledge mastery in a specific field, especially in a standardized evaluation system with objectivity. From a psychological perspective, grades have a direct impact on personal self-efficacy and external recognition, and may become an important reference for career development or further education. In exam oriented education or skill certification scenarios, grades are often used as a mandatory screening criterion. Quantitative data such as exam scores and project achievements can visually display an individual's relative position in competition, helping decision-makers quickly assess their level of ability. Research shows that sustained and stable excellent grades are usually positively correlated with cognitive ability and self-discipline. Under such evaluation systems, grades can effectively demonstrate an individual's advantages in knowledge acquisition, logical thinking, and other aspects. Excessive reliance on grades may also lead to evaluation bias. Soft skills such as creative thinking, emotional management, and teamwork are difficult to fully demonstrate through scores. Some people may experience a mismatch between their grades and their actual abilities due to exam anxiety or a single evaluation criterion. In some practical fields, experience accumulation and problem-solving ability are more valuable references than paper grades, and it is necessary to combine a multidimensional evaluation system for comprehensive judgment.

It is recommended to consider grades as a component of ability evaluation rather than an absolute standard. Establishing a comprehensive evaluation mechanism that includes dimensions such as practical achievements, peer evaluation, and innovative performance can help to more comprehensively reflect individual value. Parents and educators should be careful not to directly link grades with personal values, and pay attention to the cultivation of growth thinking in the learning process, helping individuals develop diverse abilities while maintaining learning motivation.
