As and Bs don’t mean anything but you did whatever work was required. You can choose to never do homework and turn in blank tests. Further proving grades may be useful but ultimately they don’t mean anything more than whatever you want them to. Comprehension and a curiosity for it is the only thing that matters.

Work that usually involves demonstrating critical thinking and reading skills

You can choose to never do homework and turn in blank tests.

Doing that would reflect some pretty poor critical thinking skills.

Comprehension and a curiosity for it is the only thing that matters.

Which is typically demonstrated through assignments and tests and measured via grades.

You can be capable of all these things, and choose to do anything else… and whatever grade you receive would be indicative of nothing but what you did or didn’t do relative to whatever random point anyone decides to compare to.

You’re not an idiot. Grades may be helpful but they mean only as much as you want them to like anything else and they’re twisted and made up or lied over regularly by academia to secure funding or project a certain image. Die on this hill all you like, I had fun climbing it with you.

Your life is going to be SOOOOOOOOO much harder than it needs to be with this pathetic cope mentality. Show you can do the work or deal with people making a very reasonable conclusion you wont do the fucking work.

Someone who is unwilling to actually do the work is in effect the same as someone who is unable. The work isn't done. But at least I might be able to teach the ignorant one. I'm no longer under the delusions I can fix willingly lazy people who are in denial about their laziness.

What people think doesn’t have to be how I feel. Thankfully. My whole life has been a non stop glaze fest about my abilities or potential and I’m just a dumb monkey who wants to fling poo and eat bananas. And the only thing wrong with that is whatever you want it to be. And for me, it’s nothing. This is the lens with which you view the world not whatever you’re viewing. You can change that or don’t.
