The author argues that the current system of evaluating student work is too focused on "quantifiable" factors. This is the case, the author states, because "this approach doesn’t take into account the many other factors that contribute to a student’s success." To support this point, the author notes that "a student who consistently gets high grades may not be the most creative, innovative, or collaborative thinker." In contrast, the author claims that "students who are willing to take risks and try new things are often more likely to make significant contributions to the world."
