My dad's always like "pick it up son" if i get an A-. He'll start to get mad at anything lower than that.
As far as I can tell, most students who get straight A's are people who are either brainwashed, beaten, or do drugs (in a moderate way).
The only thing that can convince me to get an A is if the instructor is cool, i'm interested in the subject, etc.
the forget?
You do know that there are like, legit smart people who can get straight A's. You don't have to do drugs lol.
Also straight a's are really helpful on college applications. Why take a c-average student when you can have a smart straight A's student?
