Getting Straight A+ is it worth it?(As an Honors or general student) I don't think so.?

Parents are happy- they can say get all A's all they want, but if you get A's and B's they will be fine.

Unless of course if they threaten to kill you.

Mostly I am concerned with the benefit to the student! After all those nights of studying, practice, what do you get!! Besides the "oh my carrier requires it". I got straight A's till 8grade. in college you get it does help you pay for college, but even then college you just need to study a bit, to pass with mostly B's and a bit of A's.

    It is DEFINITELY worth it. It isn't just about getting in to college and paying for it, either.

    The better you do in classes in college, for example, the more likely a professor is willing to right you a shining letter of recommendation for employment, and you'll be able to get into internships as well. Internships are not available to those with bad grades.

    Also, when you first graduate college, especially if you have minimal work history, the employer bases your capacity to work, professionalism, and worth ethic solely on two things: your transcripts, and your credit report. They don't ask for your education history and require full contact information just to see what you did or to inconvenience you...they actually do follow up and request information from everything you put on your application!
