[quote=Anonymous]Here is why I don't care about my kids grades. Because, the premise that A students have better opportunities than B students is false. First of all, there are many on-ramps to success in this country. A C student can get into a college -- maybe community college, and excel. Then, they transfer to a decent/good/excellent school. Then they go to a top grad school/professional school. Well rounded is more important in life than just academics. In the real world (where we work), the ability to work as a team and create new ideas is more important than pure intellect. What matters is understanding what the customer wants or needs, and figuring out how to do it. Everyone has customers: Doctors have patients; scientists have sponsors; etc. Those probably were not A students. \ [/quote]
