Every single student can get the maximum grade at every subject/course

Like the title said, I think everyone can get the maximum grade at any course.

School and university are not made to fail people, and the subject/course material are constructed in accordance to what a person of that age should be able to comprehend and eventually dominate.

One of the things that is the most annoying is people that struggle, but don't do anything about it. In my time in high school I knew quite a few people like that.

They barely passed the subjects and then would say something like : "I have learning difficulties so I can't understand subjects as well as you guys".

This statement is false. This is a crutch. I understand that not all people are the same when it comes to studying. Some read the material 5 times, some read it 20, some make maps and graphs and other just text. Everyone studies differently.

But there is no way you are physically limited to get a better grade. These people just use it to justify that they are lazy.

Suppose we have this scenario, an History exam is coming up and students need to know 120 pages for it. On average, each student will know the material well enough after reading it 7 times.

Student A, that has "learning difficulties", hasn't retained the material after those same 7 times. What these people normally do is just quit studying, get a low grade and cry about it, instead of realizing that if they have these "learning difficulties" they should do more Reading. Maybe 15 times, maybe 30, maybe 50, but they should read it enough times to know it, instead of just complaining.

I think I have undiagnosed ADHD. I can't study for half an hour straight without wandering off or looking at my phone, and then I waste a lot of time.

But I've always been a good student. Not only because I'm fortunate enough to pay enough attention in class so that things aren't new when I go to study, but also because I memorize things quickly.

The problem is that I learn them quickly, but my quickly takes more time than others. Maybe everyone can get a good grade at the calculus quiz if they do 50 exercises. I might only need 30, which supposedly makes it less, but I put in almost the same or more time than the others, because I get so easily distracted.

This personal example came out just to say that you shouldn't mope around if you're getting bad grades. Do something. Study 2x, 3x more than what you do, than your peers, everyone can get the maximum grade
