High school is critical for teenagers, and should bridge the gap maturity between adolescents and adults. However, high schools today are serving more as confinement zones, where parents just leave their kids five days a week and assume development takes place. Through moderations to the grading policies and learning style, high schools will provide students with not only the education needed to succeed but also the attitude to want to continue learning. There is too much emphasis being placed on grades in American high schools. With our increasingly competitive society, students are pushed to make the best grades that they can in the toughest classes that they can take so that they’ll be considered at a prestigious university.
