In order to have a good citizenship grade, you need to be very respectful, In my personal opinion on respect you have to be respectful to in order to be respected. You can’t just expect respect if it is not given. Some people have different definitions on respect, but to me being respectful is using manners, being kind to others.

    There is no question that the American education system is flawed and is not the most effective to teach students a broad range of academic subjects. Students are graded on the ability to reproduce knowledge onto a piece of paper after days, weeks, or months of studying a topic.

In “A Young Person’s Guide to the Grading System,” an article written by Jerry Farber, a professor of English at the University of California at San Diego, the grading system is put at fault for the flawed educational system.…

I agree with Frederick Douglass’ claim.
