There may be some pressure for this, but in most high schools in America it simply isn't needed. You can get A's and B's mostly by showing up if you are reasonably intelligent. Even getting all A's wasn't that difficult.
- guard-of-terra 14y agoFirst, USA is by large not the most "studying" culture. Second, the goal is not so much A's and B's in school as entering the high education.
- clarky07 14y agobut getting into college isn't hard either. Unless you are shooting for Harvard it's just not. They are businesses that like to make money. They want to take your money.
- guard-of-terra 14y agoToo many people aiming for Harvard leads to: - Students trying to jump over their own heads - They not getting in anyway and feeling like losers for the rest of their lives - Actual Havard alumnis feeling wrongfully entitled Bad, bad, bad, but that's where society aims.
