However, keeping straight A's in school shouldn't be an "achievement", nor should it be motivated by the possibility of a new car. Buckle down and get your shit done, simply because that's what you should be doing at 16.

Just my .02
I understand what you're saying but everyone has different perspectives on what a kid should or should not deserve. I feel like they deserve for how hard they work for it. Especially if they're in all AP classes
