Grading System

Pirsig expresses his disdain for the grading system in schools. He feels that grades are not a good way to motivate someone to do their work, and do it well. Anyone who is really worth something should be motivated by the search for knowledge. However I disagree because there are few people who are the exception to the rule. And in order to keep our world functioning we need to cater towards the rule and not the exception.
