View submission: Do highschool grades matter?
Yes, they do matter…because they require **discipline** to achieve- period.
You don’t necessarily need to be *smart* or be skillful to achieve good grades…especially given teachers, lesson plans, and expectations are subjective.
But, it’s a pretty good indicator that the person will be able to navigate life well.
At a minimum, they have been able to deliver on what society hoped for them as a student…the same mentality and work ethic can now be applied towards a different outcome that’s more of your choosing.

Totally agree with this. Delivering well on what is expected and required is more valuable in your working life than being a visionary or disrupter for 99% of people. Sounds lame but if you're not well connected or a genius, being demonstrably good at doing something people need you to do is a necessary element to achieving career success. Why wouldn't it be?
