Thoughts on class ranking transparency

imo I hate it. When I was still in school, I hated it when the teacher would finally announce the class rankings. I hated how grades or exam scores or even quiz scores were whole-class-available knowledge either by having been written on the white/chalkboard or by you having to announce it yourself to the teacher listing down student scores in front. I could tolerate and easily decline an annoying classmate asking to compare test scores, but if made to be a mandatory announcement by a teacher? I hated that shit.

U might say it's probably because i always got low grades and scores back then, but no cos I was at the top of class rankings and hated it even then. In some ways it may have been a badge of honor but to me it felt like a curse I could never escape from because any time I performed less, I was to be judged.

So ur thoughts? Privacy over transparency?
