By Albertis Photography In the late 1800s, schools were designed & intended to teach obedience. During the rise of the industrial age, big corporations needed workers for their factories. The purpose of the academic system which was introduced at that time was to create obedient & complaint workers who never ask questions. There were plenty of scholars at the time, thus the creation of the standardized test was introduced. The academic system itself became a factory to standardize all of the rising students to ensure they fit the desired mold. If the students failed the tests, they would be held back another year to try again. Dispite the fact that our world has dramatically changed since the late 1800s, our school systems are structured in the same way. So with this backdrop, we can now examine why Average Students are generally better off than their A and B counterparts.
The fact of the matter is that, "A" grade is not a guarantee of a successful job & happy life. We often hear the stories of some prominent & successful people around the world, & if you come across their Bibliographies, they weren't the "A" or "B" grade students, they were the average students & were even labeled as failures. And so, "C" Grade students (average students) are not sold on the academic system. There're not sold on the factory approach. They see a great deal of good that comes from it but they don't worship the system. They see its many flaws. Furthermore, they know that learning can occur in different ways than the system presents & the learning can happen entirely outside of the system. Thus, academia is only one approach to learning for C students or the average students. These average students aren't afraid to challenge the status-quo. Even if its uncomfortable to stand out, it's less uncomfortable than moving forward in clearly the wrong direction. C students aren't submissive followers. C students think for themselves. They don't work between the lines without first questioning why those lines exists, rather than having someone else telling them how to live their lives. C students come up with their own agendas, they zig when everyone else was told to Zags. C students don't spend enormous amounts of energy trying to impress their superiors (Teachers, Lecturers & so forth). They respect & love their teachers but they don't worship them & obey their every request. They don't see their teachers as the guardians of their success. They don't depend on references or resumes anymore. They realize that in today's world, their work speaks for itself.
