Should schools grade students on creativity and collaboration rather than just test scores? I teach at a high school where we've started using project-based assessments, and I've noticed some quiet kids shine while others who ace exams struggle in group settings. But there's real risk in making these skills formal graded categories—what counts as 'good' collaboration is subjective, and we might end up penalizing introverts or rewarding the loudest voice. Standardized tests are flawed, sure, but at least they're consistent. Would shifting focus to these soft skills actually prepare students for the workplace, or just add more stress to an already overloaded system?
