We have advised my younger daughter to select her high school courses based on the highest level for which she can easily receive an A or B. I always believed that challenging yourself meant taking any class in which you were interested and giving it your best shot. However, there is no reward if you try and fail. So sadly, I want my younger daughter to "go for the grades" rather than challenging herself and stretching to learn more. It seems that the higher GPA will open doors to more colleges and also to more merit-based aid to be able to afford the colleges.

(from S. Covey book) the P/PC balance balances going for the grade and paying the price to get an education

Get the Grade Gambling mug.Denotes a lower-than-"deluxe" level of intimacy, in that the gal always insists that the guy wear a condom whenever he "does it" with her.
A guy should realize that a gal's insisting on just econdomy-grade intercourse is definitely not a sign that the gal doesn't love him very much --- she's simply taking a precaution against either get pregnant or contracting STDs.

Jimmy got so excited to get Laura’s attention, while sexting Samantha and Jax. He wanted to have all three, but keeps looking at more girls and catcalling them. He’s a Grade A Perv, he doesn’t quit.

Get the Grade A Perv mug.A psuedo-intellectual person who thinks their degree gives them a higher level of ability or social status.

See "man child" or "bad boss"
