Don't like your grades? Blame yourself.

Interesting article.. I'm so glad I'm no longer in the middle of this :P Being in the work force is good to me after reading this...

the work ethic in upper-middle class north american kids these days is absolute garbage...i know my work ethic is mediocre, but one thing I DONT do is complain when a teacher/professor gives me a mediocre grade. If i go into something hoping to get by with my smarts and not put a lot of work into it, I'm also accepting the possibility of a poor grade.

That's funny, it seems like the opposite in my major. Tons of rich asian kids in it to just be in it; the only ones really serious about it seem to be us few caucasians. I'm not even kidding.
