if there was a world when its affiraple to get offer on favorive university programs without any high scorses on tests wold will have a deal with problems and consequences. Grades in school for last 3 years of education are very important and shows such important criterias as level of interest in studying, immersion in study proccess. However, in a same time grades does not say anything about personality. Which is very important.
It seems to me that education system with getting degree would be better for some reasons. First, every student will be allowed to get degree, even if they had a low GPA. It opens many doors in pront of people who do not pryed enough attention on grades and education duting school time, maybe not due to party and drinks but because of work and problems that much important then school. For example, my friend had a 5.0 GPA, but after his mother dead he drop out of school and after graduaring and solving all family problems, he got an offer from harvard medical collage. Second, grades can not estimate students personality. Every high schooler is not just a future emploee, but a person with their own soul and character.
But on the other hand, the most frequent picture i see is slakers. All they do is just sleeping on a desk and occupy the audience space. Which i personally find difficult to have a deal or study with such type of people. As a result, many people will be forced to study in imappropriate atmosphere, that concequently will be the reason on their lower quality of knowlage. Moreover, emploers from this time to now can not be sure about quality of education their workers have.
In total, i an disagree with making education afforble for everyone and my point of view is ” level of students knowlage and grades must be relevant.”
