Statistically speaking, GPA given how long it takes to accumulate, is a great metric. Also given the type of work you have to do from extra credit, pop quizzes, standardize tests, projects, group work and more, it may be a more rounded metric than a single test -- more in tune with life.

Though I agree GPA is not better than standardized tests. It still is a very useful metric.

... and that's exactly why I used the word "perhaps" before should. On paper importing a front end framework to a template engine shouldn't be done if you're following software design principles KISS, minimalism, and reducing technical debt. You can always render initial data on server side and maybe you should as business logic lives there.

I feel the only way these two will play nicely is swapping Django for a DRF approach. Vanilla JS could be, and perhaps should be, used in place of Vue for small use cases. There's no need for the extra abstraction when AJAX could work.
