It’s exam period
in schools and universities.
For several
weeks, grades become the main concern of pupils, students, parents and
professors. Most students are worried and impatient to find out whether they succeeded
at their exams, but also to see whether their grades are better or worse than
those of their peers. Parents and professors do the same: they constantly
compare the grades of their children and students with those of others. But is
this a good idea?
