stop measuring learning

“The idea of giving letter grades to schools is absurd. Schools are complex institutions. They do some things well, some things poorly. A letter grade cannot capture their quality or their challenges.”
same is true for the learner, no?
even more absurd, because we are now talking about the abuse of the human spirit – not a building or institution.
perhaps we stop measuring learning.
