f scholarship and of learning, thus gets a very altered value
With our current school system using the grading system, it is difficult for students to give up an "A" for a "C" or any other grade because of the value placed on that "A". It has become part of the student identity, A= good student, high achiever and F= bad student, failure. Even with brilliant minds such as Einstein who failed academically and blew us away with inventions and IQ intelligence, it is hard for students to alter the value of education = A, B, C, D, F for education = knowledge =value greater than a grade.
