This piece appears to beg the question - is there any evidence that C students are more successful after graduation? Or that students who get a C grade are doing any of the things he talks about? Or is this a weak justification for why his own grades were poor and perhaps the average C student is actually a stressed out kid who is working a minimum wage job to help pay expenses and following every rule they can find/spending 40 hours a week drinking and watching football?
- Joof 11y agoI think there's a certain category. I was an A and C student depending on how useful I expected a course to be. I also took much harder courses than my peers and social engineered my way into honors classes (I sucked at calculus, but this journal filled with abstract algebra I did for funsies says I can probably do honors analysis of algorithms). I think my in-major GPA ended up over a full point higher than my general GPA.
