I wasn't motivated by fear. It was more like trying to be high scorer on a video game. Which is also somewhat of a stupid motivation, but probably not as stupid. I think the problem is not grades per se but the difference between what they're supposed to measure and what they actually do. That difference can be small (I can remember college classes where it was), but it takes an effort.

Who needs grades anyway? Do employers need grades? I think the purpose of grades is primarily for bureaucrats to compare schools. Teachers are the ones being paid. Grade them, not the pupils. Children need to know which classes are worth attending.
