In this Reddit on the ask teachers subreddit (https://old.reddit.com/r/..._do_right/), so many teachers claim that you just need to study hard, do all the work, ask questions, and be curious. That’s all it takes to get As. Yet, so many professors talk about how so many students can work hard and study hard and still fail let alone get As. Professors always say “we grade based on work produced, not the effort put in”. I feel part of the reason why students come unprepared for college is that teachers have completely different ideas for what is considered efficient studying, so they pass on bad ideas to their students

Some people can barely study and spend their time playing sports or robotics while still getting As in all their AP classes. Others can study their butts off just for a C. At some point, we have to acknowledge some people just aren’t smart enough academically. Not saying that is a good or bad thing. But that’s just the reality. I wasn’t good enough to get As consistently, and teachers told me I just wasn’t smart enough
