Judging a book by its cover is the same as judging a child by its grades. The fault is not in the grades but the evil is how we think of grades. Grades are just a way to reward the student for good work
In ninth grade, I came up with a new form of rebellion. I hadn’t been getting good grades, but I decided to get all A’s without taking a book home. I didn’t go to math class, because I knew enough and had read ahead, and I placed within the top 10 people in the nation on an aptitude exam.
