In my family, a C has always been a bad grade. I never got the impression it was becuase my parents thought I was a genius, they enforced it simply because of the numbers. I'm not happy with saying "well, I know 70% of the material." Seventy percent? When did I decide that that other 30% wasn't worthy of me knowing? I'm an all-or-nothing kind of person, and it feels like I've arbitrarily decided not to learn something if I get less than 95%+. I won't even turn in a homework assignment unless its 100% complete, because if I do things, I complete them. I absolutely loath the idea of turning things in that are half-assed or half-complete, and that doesn't (or shouldn't) work in the "real world." Luckily for me, I've always been smart enough that my "best" was good enough or represented a complete understanding.
