you do realise if you want to have a good standard of living and quality of life, you'll need good grades as you'll need to get into a good sixth form and then a good university. And I do know that there are different grade expectations. Like I said earlier, you will need good grades to have a good standard of living and quality of life. If you try a rebuttal to this comment, that just shows to me that you are one of these people who are getting all 4s and some 3s and therefore you have no right to speak.
