Why do people, colleges, university all care about grade so much?

Because I think that in present time there is nothing in life without grades but that's materialistic approach of our society they don't seek their talent they just go on the same path which is common or popular in the society. How weird is that? ?

Faizan0610 It's super wierd that all they care is about grades

Well, grades are basically just numbers. And from what I've known in math, numbers are used to REPRESENT. But does this mean grades represent our level of intellect? No. See grades are used by society as a tool to remind students/parents/teachers etc. how much students have worked hard for and what they have accomplished. But don't take grades too seriously or you will never find happiness.

KennethReysonMalicdem Tell the truth i do not take grades seriously but my parents do take them seriously. Plus when my grade went down they wouldn't understand that sometimes grades fall too. But they didn't. I was wondering how do grades help in future? does that help you in our future job?

SmileJewel i think just because it is considered as the level of being successful or unsuccessful.?

SmileJewel No. Not at all. I don't take grades seriously either. What I primarily focus on is what I get from those grades. What do you get from those grades? Well, it isn't fame nor fortune but it is learning because I know that every time I learn something It will surely help me reach my goal in life in the future.

They have a fear of failing.
I have had panic attacks literally before giving exams or just giving give stand-up presentations.
I could feel my right arm move so badly I felt it is a neuropathy case.
Fear holds us back: https://mangoclinic.com/effective-psychological-treatments-of-phobias-from-best-psychologists/
It is now such an issue that there are cases of " test anxiety".
That is just awful because students in schools, colleges and universities have serious hormonal, mental and spiritual issues now.
Better to solve it than to get worried.
Bless.

Because that is how our society, parents, and teachers teach us and this is what they expect from us. Our intelligence is measured on the basis of our higher grades are and not on anything else. Our education system doesn't rule out different sorts of cerebral capabilities or different personalities. It's just like fish and elephant has to take the same exam. I hope you won't let it ruin your happiness and mental peace. Cheers! 🙂

Unfortunately, grading is extremely important and much more so than it was 30 or more years ago. Students today, don’t care about learning, rather they care about grades. All you have to do is look at the effort that goes into an ungraded assignment compared to a graded assignment. https://esacare.com/best-trainers-certified-therapy-dog/
The difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation has never been more obvious and important than it is today.

Caring about grades so much is the craziest thing ever, I feel sorry for teenagers sacrificing their good moments of life for this high grades legacy. The pressure from society is the highlighting factor. Due to this many kids are a target of depression. Suicide is just a new trend for teenagers who face failure in their academics , from failure I mean low grades which our society consider as failure. I wish only if I could change this tradition. https://mdberry.com/medical-marijuana-effectiveness-research/
