  No shit
context: Trying to do months worth of studying in a day probably isn't a great approach generally >
  
  Yeah, OP might have had a valid point, but this sounds like just procrastination and poor planning. >
  
  Also being going to school with the approach of being happy with C grades would draw ire from a lot of parents. This also doesn’t apply to just the tiger moms who are upset that their kid got an A- vs. an A. Plenty of reasonable parents don't expect perfection, but hope that their kids does better than the bare minimum score. >
  
  You can’t just expect good academic performance from your kids without helping them. That includes, but it’s not limited to providing a safe environment to study, teaching them how to study, being involved, and tailoring all this to the specific needs of your kids.
  Even then, expecting perfection from your kids is unreasonable and harmful. They’re gonna make mistakes, they’ll face challenges, hace setbacks and  they’re gonna fail for one reason or another, and they need to know parents will support them when this happens. >
  
  The fact that you study the day before explains why you don’t have an A. You should be studying well in advance for an exam, not the day before, especially in college. In high school it’s easy to find success in the study the night before strategy, but in college you’ll be in for a surprise. Poor studying habits is why so many kids do poorly in their first year of college. >
  
  Lol, you should have seen my parents faces when i got a 27 in math >
  
  27 PERCENT? i feel like you have to TRY to do that bad... >
  
  You should’ve seen the gpa’s during the virtual learning and covid era, half of my school was in summer school or some type of catch up program. >
  
  I’ve seen questions on Quora where the parent asks if they did the right thing of grounding their kids and take everything away from them over a B and people gave them backlash and rightfully so, because the parent was being way too strict on their kids.
  And seriously everyone makes mistakes so why expect children to do any better? They’re not robots and adults know it. But do adults care? No. All they care about is raising a human being to be good at everything when that’s impossible and adults are more egotistical than kids >
  
  The people complaining about the A- are the people with parents who don’t accept anything less than perfection and have led their kids to believe their worth is determined on their grades. It’s an unfortunate and vicious cycle >
  
  My mom would get more mad at me when I received an 89 than when I received an 85. >
  
  Is it possible the WAY you're trying to learn is the problem? My memory is bad, like I feel like I have alzheimers bad. But my association memory is strangely spot on. I can play a song, make a scribble, and even a certain smell will trigger my memory. I figured this out while studying for a social studies test while listening to the new Hybrid Theory Linkin Park album. I had it playing in my ear while writing the test and I aced that mother fucker. It was the first test I ever did better than 60%. The teacher thought I cheated. >
  
  Academia is getting easier and easier, so it’s becoming a more and more reasonable expectation IMO.
  It was a breeze getting As through early schooling. In higher education and classes graded on a curve, that’s when it gets challenging. >
  
  this is fax right here, I am currently in grade 7 and i noticed that compared to grade 5-6 grade 7 just felt so much easier even although they introduced unit test and term tests. Ig another thing is that the teachers are always complaining about how O level and A level keep getting easier but personally im relieved. >
  
  I think they were talking about a slightly higher scale of 1-2 grades lol. The real wake up call is when you get to college. >
  
  Not really unpopular outside Asia >
  
  I mean, that’s a pretty popular opinion.
