Wow, you're asking me if C's are bad grades? As far as my parents were concerned, B's were bad grades. I should probably note that my grading system was as followed: C = 60-69%, B = 70-79%, A = 80%+. My parents yelled at me for hours for every B I got on my report card. I used to be a straight A student until I stopped caring, and until I fell into depression.
As for do I think C's are bad grades. No, they are not bad grades unless you plan on going to university/college. If you don't plan on doing those, then by all means, get 50's. But in today's society, grades are what count. A university isn't going to take a student who works hard but get's 70%. They're going to take the slacker who gets 90%. As to which one stays in, well, that's up for discussion. The point is, the higher your marks, the more likely you will get in. The higher your marks, the more choices you have.
Ironically, I know lots of C students who now make more money then their university graduate friends. I'm not sure about other places, but in Ontario, skilled trades (in my opinion) is a much better choice than the majority of university programs.
