I'm not proposing this as a solution or advocating this, but what if our laboratory school tried getting rid of grades, switching to a pass/ fail system, and having written progress reports in lieu of grades?

I understand that this would make it difficult for colleges to quickly analyze our academic prowess, but it might do so more accurately if they could take the time to look at everything. This way, we could be more focused on actually learning the content rather than just "getting by." I don't know if students would still find it worthwhile to cheat.

It would be a very bold move, and a very unusual one. But do you think it's worth a try?
