I have been blessed, i have been blessed throughout my life with good teachers the only problem is i don’t concentrate nor learn very well. there are some people in life that you seriously just want to rip their head off and then there are some that are so nice to you that you feel unworthy. There is this one teacher who has acted like a father to me i need a father every once in a while because the father i have doesn’t act like a father all he cares about is his money and all my mom cares about (in reference to my father) is revenge. its a weird life which is why we need those certain types of people to come in and out of our lives every once in a while. My teachers have done that for me and school has been a little piece of heaven for me. I’m not saying my home life is mad nor am i saying that it is good, every teenager will say that their home life is “bad” i don’t know if there is a difference between bad and really bad. anyways enough of all that i have a question,
Is it better to go through life learning and enjoy learning with a bad grade? OR
Go through life not enjoying any part of being taught and receive a good grade?
i have not a clue of the answer…
Crystal,
I asked myself a similar question awhile back:
Is it better to a) Challenge yourself and enjoy learning but get crappy grades, or b) Take easy/boring classes and spares and get impressive grades?
Grades are worthless if don’t learn anything. If you graduate from university with honours and a double major but have learned nothing and hate learning from there on, you’re not going to get very far.
It is much better to actually learn things, and enjoy it, even if you aren’t directly rewarded, i.e. with grades.
Grades are simply a measure of one’s ability/willingness to memorize/cram anyway.
For the most part I’ve quit fighting for good grades. I’m just in school for the ride now.
