I was like Alex - I just didn't see why you needed to put that much effort in for a grade point or so. My Senior English class I'd get up at 4:30 AM and type up first draft/last draft of my paper and turn it in. I'd get a B+. My friends would do numerous drafts, have conferences with the teacher etc and get an A-. Didn't see what was worth the hassle. Not to mention our english teacher was a huge self centered dick so if you didn't kiss his ass you didn't get an A anyway.
GPA's don't really matter much in the real world anyway - at least not mine.
