(4A) DO NOW Padlet: Who Are Grades For and Why Do We Care? by Dario Sulzman https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/k87j1iwc7vcc2rfc Make a post with your name and your response to the following question: Who are grades for? Think deeply about this question and respond as fully as possible. And given that it's just a letter (which is a pretty narrow way to capture what is often hours or even months worth of learning, why do we care about them?). en-us 2025-09-11 15:36:00 UTC 2025-09-11 17:09:41 UTC hello@padlet.com 1142042 https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/k87j1iwc7vcc2rfc/wish/3580574605 I think grades are mostly for parents to see how well their child is doing or adjusting to their classes. Usually, a parents biggest fear is the thought of their child failing a class or not being able to graduate.

Why we care about them is to go into the world knowing important things, like finance and math and be able to get jobs with your highschool diploma .

I believe we care because the only way we will actually pass the class or classes is through and because of our grades.

Some of us care to impress others, impress ourselves, to graduate or to get in a good school

Also it is for teachers to mark how well a class is for payment and more.

It also shows teachers that this student may need more help to better understand the subject. I believe we care about grades because it shows that we learned and understand the topic and it helps with our future plans(graduation, college, etc).
