Simplified Meaning:

This quote highlights a problem with the school system. It suggests that schools put too much focus on getting good grades instead of making sure students actually understand and enjoy learning. As a result, students feel pressured to get high marks and might cheat because they think grades are more important than the knowledge they should be gaining. For example, imagine a student named Jane. She loves science but is always stressed about getting A's to impress her parents and teachers. So, instead of spending time learning and doing experiments, she might find shortcuts or even cheat on tests to get the grades she feels she needs. This means Jane misses out on really learning and discovering the fun parts of science. To apply this idea in real life, teachers and parents can encourage students to focus on the experience of learning itself, rather than just the final grade. They can praise effort, creativity, and curiosity, making learning more enjoyable and less about the pressure to score high. This could help students like Jane appreciate the process of learning, leading to deeper knowledge and less temptation to cheat.
