This misses the point of grades being a stupid system in the first place. The very idea that people should be numbered and ranked is so readily accepted that we only dare consider how to do it correctly.
The truth is that essays should not be graded at all, because there should be no such thing as grading in the first place.

I on the other hand kind of enjoy the part where we have some system that makes sure people who design our bridges and create our medicene know what they are doing.

What would be a better way to check whether students have acquired the necessary knowledge other than a scored assessment of it?
