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 gradesmug. Grade Gambling is when you don't care about your grades and decide to gamble your academic fate on pot luck alone. The results of grade gambling can vary with the jackpot being a higher grade than you anticipated.
Those participate in this risky approach are known at grade gamblers. This approach stems from a strong hatred towards education that can last for years.

Get the Grade Gamblingmug. 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.
