“I’ve heard it both ways.” —Shawn Spencer; usually said when he has NOT heard it both ways. Which I also have not. It’s back-handed compliments, but left-handed compliments is hilarious.
The need for good grades then led Rose to an inferiority complex. And grades became more important than learning, so she learned how to cheat just to maintain the grades, completely forgetting that she was smart all on her own. Then she went to a meh college, majored in the “easy” thing, ending up jobless and trying to figure out her real passion in life. That’s when she started to truly LEARN again without grades as a marker for “success.” She found her passion, started a business, and now realizes that grades never mattered after all.
