1. Why do parents want you to get good grades?

They do it to punish you

They want you to excel in life

No one is sure why they want it

2. Can you get into college without getting good grades in school?

No college will accept you unless you have a straight-A average

It is possible, but it makes it more difficult

Grades are not a factor for getting into college

3. What sort of recognition can you get for good grades?

The school will put up a statue honoring you

Everyone will know your name

Your name could be put on the honor roll

If you got all three correct, you are on your way to becoming a Champion in Getting Good Grades. If you had problems, you had better look over the material again.
