Bull****.

Getting straight A's necessitates one PLAY THE GAME

A) Feed teachers demand for narcissistic supply

B) Appease teachers demand for form over substance

C) Always subordinate the truth to being an A student

etc.
I would roughly agree with Raving Beauty on this one.

Those classes that I learned the most in, were the ones that I *really*
had to struggle to learn. Coasting along with a near perfect score is
dumb.

Being penalized for struggling and failing is dumb, dumb and dumber.

Struggling and eventually prevailing is the *sweetest* of all, IMO.

Cordially,
