Not for nothing that people above a certain IQ tend to have shit grades due to being so bored out of their skull that they don't even bother...
Even quite a few decades ago teaching was by rout rather than understanding, those that accepted this got better grades than those that wanted to understand.
Most often uttered phrase by teachers during teacher/parent conferences through out my childhood "very bright", often followed by " poor test scores/not very motivated to 'learn' ".....
I was bored in school a lot. In second grade, the teacher would give us a math test. For me, it was stupid simple. I would just write in all the answers in just a minute and then just sit there staring or put my head down for a nap. The other kids would struggle and take a long time. Finally, the teacher told me to just get a book off the shelf and read.
But I did get very good grades throughout school. I always read all my new textbooks the first week of school, so the rest of the year was just reviewing what I'd already read and digested a long time ago.
