My parents are huge sticklers about school and always try to pressure me into trying harder, but I can't help it - I just don't give a -blam!-. My parents demand B's and A's, but as long as I have at least D's, I'm passing, so it shouldn't really matter. I very much look forward to the day I exit high school and never have to return. And as some other people said - an education isn't as valuable today as earlier generations since pretty much every kid is granted one.
