Failing Our Future: How Grades Harm Students, and What We Can Do about It. Johns Hopkins University Press.About this Book:In this book, Eyler critiques the educational system’s obsession with grades and identifies many negative effects grades have on learning. He makes a case that grades cause students to experience learning as a competition rather than discovery and that grades impede the learning process. The latter part of the book shares examples of grading reform efforts and recommendations for systemic change. [Annotation contributed by Aaron Trocki]
