To me, learning should never be a confined act, but a liberated one. We should be able to learn in all kinds of directions, following our curiosity rather than being restricted by the quantifiable path set for us by an expert in the field.
Essentially, if learning follows a specific path laid out for you before you even set foot in a classroom, then the learning is not catered to your needs and goals. When what is being taught to you is not catered to your needs and goals, you are not learning to your full potential. Curiosity should lead learning.

Sure enough, the children who were told to think about their performance now wanted to know how they had done relative to their peers; those who had been allowed to become immersed in the task were more interested in seeing what their peers had done.
This proves that grades are so ingrained into our minds that we are constantly comparing ourselves to others. This is not a healthy mindset to have and it takes away from our ability to express creativity and individuality because we are consumed with comparison.
