This statistic reveals how much emphasis high schools place on GPA, while also demonstrating the irrelevance of GPA, and the economic benefits of a new approach to high school curriculum. The way one could go about achieving this 5% increase and more is to make the classroom curriculum interesting for students by moving from the current colorless, bromide system to a more expressive, unreserved system. Incorporating lessons into real-life scenarios and skills will spark student interest because of an applicable way to use the lesson outside of the classroom. Reducing the influence and power associated with GPA can benefit the student by alleviating student stress and generating focus toward the student's curriculum.
