The argument for grades is "Well, I suffered through them, so should you".
We can look at engineering disciplines, medical at all levels, and many more. "Since I suffered, you should have to as well."
When we finally kill that idea, we can move forward with what real education is, and how to better measure it. Right now, we measure compliance and rule adherence, and we should instead be measuring understanding.
