Details Reviewing the book UNgrading as it provides the confidence, motivation, and peer reflection required to make the changes necessary to consign the authoritarian classroom, the widespread lethargy, and the decline of personal skills and esteem, to the past. UNgrading promotes a movement of natural achievers and in the longer term, an expansion of an intrinsically motivated populace. The ungraded classroom may one day be the norm and not the exception.
