    Comportment Grades Have No Meaningful Impact for German Students
    
    Grading the behavior of students in Germany has no meaningful impact on their educational success or school-to-work transition, finds a new ifo Institute study. “We found no discernible differences in academic performance, character traits, or career profiles between schoolchildren who received comportment grades and those who did not. These non-academic grades therefore seem to have neither a positive nor a negative impact on the students’ development,” says ifo researcher Florian Schoner. “In other words, the heated debates around them have been much ado about nothing.”
