As educators, they should know better. A critical part of success is learning how to deal with your own shortcomings. If you are either not talented enough and/or not motivated enough to achieve the highest grades, this uncomfortable fact is something that has value to you and it should be made plain.

I was not an honor roll student. It was important that I felt the need to ask myself why.
