"The pressure to achieve high grades in school seriously limits the quality of learning. An educational environment without grades would promote more genuine intellectual development."

Education institutes are spread all over the world, producing highly intelligent human resource. People compete to get in to the famous top unversities in the world. So that if they graduated with high grades there, people amongst the world will admit their intelligence. Education is exist and close with us since we were children. The main thing is the aim of the genuine intellectual development whether it can be achieved with the grades pressures or not.

Students are started to be called students, are when they start to attend some education institution. It is started when they enter primary school or even kindergarten. They study because they have to, because the parents say so.  Student is forced to get good grades and strive for the best amongst their friend.  Some students tend to rebell from the obligation and study only at the last second, just before exam. And just after that they may forget all the things they learned. From at that very moment, students study without understanding the true meaning of learning and education.

Without grades' pressure, perhaps students will study merely because they love it, because they have passion on it. They can connect and put into practise from one theory to another. For example just like a famous inventor Thomas Alpha Edition. He was never give up until the very last minute and he could find out the secret of light bulb.

In the current society nowadays, high grades will be identic with bright future. Students are pushed to get the highest grades with an assumption that they can get job easily with their good grades.This assumption is being realised in japan, where a lot of people suicide if they don't get good grades. The pressure and competition is very high there.

We should know that grades don't decide the future. If we read some biography of Bill gates or the Apple's founder Steve Green. Both of them didn't finish their tertiary education. They dropped out from the school but yet they are rich, and the richest amongst people in the world today.A lot of success people is not a top student in their school before.

Unfortunatelly without pressures, student will have no drives in study. No discipline to learn new things or curiosity in new technology. Human without any force or drive sometimes can't go on and no passion on the field.The advancement in technology will be left behind and there will be no improvement in any field in life. That's why drive is still needed in learning process together with the right understanding in learning. So that people will study not only because of the grades, but also because they know the more genuine intellectual development.

A genuine intellectual development will surely be achieved with and without the grades pressure. Both are an interchangeably aspect that can't be separated. Without pressure or drive, the objectives of genuine intellectual development won't be achieved.
