In your opinion, what does having low grades throughout school mean?
It could mean many things, but amongst those— it could be that you are not “wired” for a traditional classroom setting, perhaps you are having trouble with depression/anxiety/dealing with some sort of trauma/abuse in your life…Perhaps you have medical or underlying physical health issue.. so many factors to consider.
You're not a nerd
It could mean a lot of things. Academic performance is correlated with IQ, but low performance could also mean you don't have the time due to other obligations, or it could mean you're really lazy/just not into school, which is totally fair, or you're depressed.. In elementary school I'd get 60 minutes of detention -every- -day- for not doing my homework, in high school my GPA was 2.2 or 2.5 or something, in college I had to take special remedial classes because I got so many Fs.. I've always been depressed, and I find labor, including/especially mental labor, to be really misery-inducing.
Schools are shit
It means that your talents do not get invoked by the school methods.
