I have to work 5x harder than anyone els to get the same grade. I still get the good grades. I know friends that study and study and just can get a good grade on the test or just dont get it at all. but that is why you have teachers there for. come to school early and get "HELP". I have to do that all the time to get that A in that class. If there is a will there is a way. ok, I am still in high school and I have dyslexia.

I know where you're coming from in that those who take a harder work load aren't invited to honor societies, etc. I've experienced this myself. However, I think that it is ignorant and in no way right to lump everyone with poor grades together as "lazy". Have you ever heard of learning disabilities? Some people try 10x harder than those honor students who get "A"'s without doing jack squat, but such hard workers end up with "C"'s because school systems don't fit them or they have other strong points. So while you're right in that schools don't reward those who take on challenges, remember how bad that felt then next time you call everyone with learning problems "lazy".
