It is the popular wisdom that competition for high grades only will limit the students to fulfill their potential and seek the beauty inside themselves. Therefore, the statement make sense to some extent that for it could make that students care about high grades only while totally ignore the true meaning of education. However, when it comes to competition for high grades will serious limit the quality of learning at all levels of education, I suspect the directness and effectiveness of this saying. Meanwhile, I will allocate some bets on several other approaches.
Admit it or not, competition for high grades brings about a host of banes, because the intent we study for determines our focus. Some students may focus on the material which is to be tested only, as a result, they will lose the whole scene of the study. Some students may ignore other important skills such as communication and organization. Still some will spend too much time on study and exhaust their health. In these cases, the students can't fulfill their potential and grow-up as a really educated person. What's most important, the hassle, disappointment and even grief coming along with competition can be really heart-trending.
However, people the world over profit from competition, even the society as a whole. Attempting to get high scores means achieve better performance in the class. To get high-score, awards then merit-oriented scholarship, the student will try their best to digest and make the most understanding of the study materials. Competition with others can exert our best ability to dominate our rival and means never settle to the mediocrity. All these can cultivate a positive environment to encourage students to develop their origination, at least innovation.
Also, whether compete for high score is useful or harmful is rarely a straightforward issue. For primary student, it's necessary and effective. For graduate student, it's not so useful.
We are living in an age when the "jungle law" and the "survival of the fittest" rule prevail. Now practically everything must be competed for before we get it. For the students, one of the most important measurements is academic score. The vital judgment, in my perspective, should be whether the competition is square and fair. What we should do is not to blame competition for all the rivalry or confrontation it may involve, but to guarantee that it is played out on a level playing field--for example, even though not every player has an equal chance to win, but at least we all abide by the same set of rules.
If we can find approaches that meet the desire of comfort while generate progress, we would have find a way to reduce debate on this issue. The task is open-ended, it can never be finished. However a conscious effort to crack these hard nuts will definitely be helpful.
