Todd: What about the idea that some people think that maybe there should be no grades? That there is just maybe you achieve or don't achieve. It's more binary. Either yes or no.

託德:有人認爲不應該有評分,你怎麼看?他們認爲只有做到和沒做到之分。像二進制一樣,只有是和否。

Nydja: I don't really know how I feel about that. I went to a school when I was younger that actually didn't have ... everybody was just put together in a large room and different teachers worked with different students according to their abilities and there were no grades. As an adult now, I'm not really sure how I feel about that system. I wasn't there long enough to see what I could do with that environment. If it benefited me, or if it was to my detriment, so I really don't have an opinion on that.

妮迪亞:我不太清楚對這種觀點是什麼感覺。我小時候念過一所學校,所有人都在一間大教室裏,依據學生的能力,會有不同的老師來授課,沒有評分。現在我是成年人了,我不太確定我對這種制度的感覺。我在那所學校的時間不長,我不知道我能否適應那個環境。我也不知道那種制度是有益於我,還是對我不利,所以我只能說我對這種觀點沒有什麼判斷。

Todd: How about when you were younger, were you often stressed about your grades?

託德:你小時候經常因爲成績感到壓力嗎?

Nydja: Yes. Yes, I was. I was very stressed. I used to stay up until three or four o'clock in the morning trying to complete projects. Studying all the time. I also did track, so I was very worried. You're in competition with your classmates because later on you have to go and get into college and then you have to get a job and it all starts in primary and secondary school, so it's important to do well there.

妮迪亞:對,是的,經常。我壓力非常大。我以前爲了完成學習任務經常要熬夜到凌晨三四點。我當時一直在學習。我要跟上進度,所以我當時非常擔心。你要和同學競爭,才能上大學,找到工作,而這些都要從小學和初中打好基礎,所以從小就要做好。

Todd: So, you're very young but later in life with children, would you want your children to worry about grades, or would you want to be a parent that tell them "huh, not so much!"

託德:你現在很年輕,以後你有了孩子,你希望你的孩子擔心成績,還是你會告訴你的孩子:“哈,不用那麼擔心!”

Nydja: No, they will definitely be ... if I have children, they will definitely be concerned about the grades that they're earning, and I will not be easy on them in that regard at all. So, they have a lot coming to them.

妮迪亞:不,他們肯定會……如果我有了孩子,他們肯定會擔心成績,在這方面,我不會對他們太寬容。他們要面對的還很多。
