What is meaningless is to reduce grades so much that it’s impossible to recieve a failing trade.
I had excellent grades in math and less than ideal in chemistry. So I spent less time studying math and more time studying chemistry. And what do you know… my grade in chemistry suddenly and completely unexpectedly became higher. While my grade in math was still holding steady.
It’s a real mystery how I figured out that I should spend more time studying chemistry.
Grades have always been meaningless.
People who believe in meritocracy and all that bullshit are just too privileged to notice.
edit: I didn’t even realize this was “white people twitter” but makes sense 100%.
That could not be further from the truth.

I’m glad the school system didn’t fail you.
I do realise that not everyone had a good experience with their school system. But to blame the concept of grades on that is silly.
Grades are meaningless to some people. They matter greatly to other people.
Video games are meaningless to some people. They matter greatly to other people.
The difference is that I didn’t get a scholarship and an education due to my ability to play video games. It was my grades that paid my tuition.
