Do school grades matter?

(In the Artificial Intelligence age)

"The new smart will be determined not by what or how you know but by the quality of your thinking, listening, relating, collaborating, and learning. Quantity is replaced by quality. And that shift will enable us to focus on the hard work of taking our cognitive and emotional skills to a much higher level," - Ed Hess

"Many of the experts discussed in their responses the human talents they believe machines and automation may not be able to duplicate, noting that these should be the skills developed and nurtured by education and training programs to prepare people to work successfully alongside AI. These respondents suggest that workers of the future will learn to deeply cultivate and exploit creativity, collaborative activity, abstract and systems thinking, complex communication, and the ability to thrive in diverse environments." - 2016 Pew Research center survey

I ask this to preface my Tuesday talking point - Do school grades still matter? Education will surely evolve in the coming decade with regard to what is taught but also HOW it is delivered. Where do you see education in 10 years?
