I have never cared much about grades since I was in the 9th year of my formal education. As might be expected, that put a damper on my being able to persue a paid vocation in in the field I love most. To be sure, we all travel different paths and God needs people in and out of academia. It seems best to me not to spend too much time and energy on grading. Just be sure that the good students pass.
