I read C students article – MED was interesting! In high school, I figured out a B is just as good and waaaay less work than an A so that’s why I allowed myself to slide by in school. Nobody told me what grades are for other than for the teacher. As a teacher, I think I hold a power to challenge my students and raise my minimum “C” bar so they invest more effort.
The mastitis title did scare me until I read the side note.
