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 Gomug. A once fun but now boring game that has gone worldwide in the form of an annoying ad that games and websites LOVE to include.
It features a old ass man wearing a tuxedo too small for the average eye to see and a hat that is even bigger than him. It sometimes also includes a grey dog whose eyebrows are even bushier than all the hair on my body.
