Does a grade reflect a student’s intelligence?
They do not.Often the smartest person in the classroom, is not the one with the highest grades.Rarely is the least intelligent person in the class the one with the lowest grades.Grades reflect several things, and while high intelligence surely helps a person learn more, and low intelligence makes it harder to learn, the grades a student gets has more to do with things besides intelligence, than intelligence.What do grades reflect? What goes into getting high grades? In no particular order:The ability to understand what the teacher wantsThe willingness to give the teacher what they wantThe ability to keep one’s self organized, and keep track of what is needed to accomplish the academic tasks set, and to know when they are dueThe ability and interest in turning things in on time, fully completedThe ability to know when they need help, how to get useful help, and applying that ability consistently, when neededTurning in all assignmentsBeing able to engage the teacherKnowing how to get help from each teacherKnowing how to get feedback from the teacher to know when there is a problemGetting attention from the teacher to help because the teacher feels like the student is engaged, and teachers are willing to spend more time on students who spend more timeKnowing how to balance life to have fun, stay healthy, have a social life, and not get stressed out by overloading the schedule or procrastinatingUnderstanding how to allocate enough time and effort to get high grades, without spending too much time working harder than is required and/or making the assignment more complex than the teacher intendedStudents with the highest grades understand and apply all of those.Highly intelligent students who do not get high grades are missing in ability or interest in some of those.Being good at academics is a skill set, not a reflection of raw intellect. Being highly intelligent is simply not enough to magically result in high grades. And having average intelligence does not relegate a person to never getting high grades.The surest method of improving one’s grades, is getting every assignment done and turned in on time. If that is hard, get help to improve abilities. If the assignments are hard to understand, make appointments with teachers to have them explain what is wanted.Do grades accurately reflect intelligence?No.They mostly reflect academic skills and interest.
