For me the difference between passing and doing well was like the difference between taking therapy on parallel bars, and actually being free to use crutches on the bus and all around town.

o_O - it's the difference between book smarts and street smarts.
Book smarts will help you get a good grade - street smarts will enable you to
walk into a local laundromat and be able to use it.
(Friend once walked into a laundromat and found a guy she knew (Mensa member) standing
looking around forlornly at the instructions on the walls - completely lost.)
So yeah, book smarts aren't everything.

Err, no, I was not going in that direction.
I was talking of two different tiers of 'book' smarts -
the A-grade tier where you can solve any problem in the textbook and the tier where you can take textbook knowledge and invent solutions to problems no one has seen before.
The work to get from C to A is merely practice for the work required to get from 'A' to that highest tier.
And you know what else? Getting from 'A' to the "owning the knowledge" tier is all "homework" in this day and age.
Companies willing to pay for on-the-job training while the employees ready themselves for that leap are dying out faster than dinosaurs.
cenwolfgirl:
no A= I am a total juerk and show off myfravret thing to do is make people feel bad about them selves as i am perfect and they are not, i proberly have OCD and I like being an emoshanal vampire
B= I am on target I have good gruads but am not an ass about it, and will help others getting worse gruads then me
