'Should Effort Count? Students Certainly Think So'

Why are students graded on their effort and instead of their knowledge of their understanding not completion, not effort. Effort shouldn't be a grade since a teacher can't see you at home doing your homework and see how much your struggling and trying they can't do that so effort isn't a grade. What teachers are doing are wrong grading a piece of homework or paper for effort that's not it the answer is knowledge its tests, quizzes and projects its not effort or even homework. What really matters is students knowledge/understanding of the topic they are on not the extra practice that's for students to decide on whether they should do it or not.

First let me speak upon how effort cannot be measured accurately since it is a thing only the student him/herself can grade. In the text, “Should Effort Count? Students Certainly Think So”by

Well recalling upon the article “Should Effort Count? Students Certainly Think So” by Maryellen Weimer, Weimer states “If students cannot demonstrate their mastery via an exam, paper, project, or performance, then they have not mastered the material or skill. Unless you can explain it or do it, you don't understand it.” This states knowing is key knowledge is key effort is nothing it is just a boring excuse for a for extra points. Effort is only completion that's the grade it's not as important as knowledge where knowledge is your understanding of the material. Why knowledge should be your whole grade is because if you don't know how to do it then you don't understand it right so effort is you don't know but you tried that's not enough that shouldn’t even be a grade effort is like just completing something and getting it back , getting a 0% but u still tried right you completed it so you get a 100% that's not what students should be graded on that's just a pure waste of
