2. the desire to get a good education by spending a lot of time to obtain a very deep knowledge of subject being studied

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 go for the grades mug.Neo from 8th grade is one of the most obnoctious people on earth and if anyone says otherwise an alternate universe is created moments before and the words were never said.

Get the Neo from 8th grade mug.An Uncommon Air Force Slang for "really fucking bad weather" thunderstorms,high winds or 0 visibility in the sky for miles used as a joke to new pilots who haven't only experienced calm to lighty moderate weather and not the full force of mother nature but rarely said as it was a injoke for a long time.
New Pilot: goddamn that was some mean turbulence dude
Experienced Pilot : man this aint shit you should have seen me and my last Wingman in "Company Grade Weather"

Get the Company Grade Weather mug.I was 1 a couple years ago so here’s what they are like.
Most of them are normie/casual, preppy/softie/furry, athletic, emo/goth and kidcore. All of my friends, nor their friends have lost their virginity in the 7th grade. It’s actually the boys that say/do all of the weird/sus/sexual stuff (definition about them soon). But none of them actually do the deed with girls at school.

Most 7th grade girls are not sluts

Get the 7th grade girl mug.The grade where school foes from fun to hell. Being one of two "upper grades" of elementary school along with fourth grade, teachers become more strict to their students.

Get the Third Grade 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.

Get the econdomy-grade mug.The second year of high school. People who are in this grade are usually cocky because they’re not freshmen anymore, but they don’t understand that they’re still underclassmen, which makes them useless. This is also a pretty easy year, unless you’re taking Geometry. And this is the year you can be able to get a job & your driving permit. This is considered a filler year and it’s not really that important and the workload is pretty simple, nothing too extra. And this is the last easy year you’re gonna have before junior year, so you better enjoy it.
Junior: “What grade are you in”?
Sophomore: “10th grade”
Junior: “Wow, so you’re in the easiest grade”
