The question you asked is a very profound social problem. I'm afraid it's quite difficult to understand it completely. As a student, the main index to evaluate him in school should of course be academic performance, which is beyond doubt. Your grades can't mean everything is right, because students learn a lot at school, but the evaluation of many things is objectively unreasonable, and the performance of grades is not only the mastery of knowledge, but also the performance of behavior, thoughts, values and world outlook at school. Maybe you are trapped by your grades, but as long as you care about your own growth, there is a saying called "be the best you can be", which should be a wise saying for students to master and encourage. You can pay full attention to your own growth process and get out of confusion effectively. As for the evaluation of parents and teachers, it is very social and utilitarian. Parents have very rich social experience. Everything in real life tells them that a person's knowledge is of great significance to a person's position in society, including diplomas, growth environment, etc., and teachers pay attention to students' academic achievements not only as their professional duties, but also as teachers for their future consideration, although the practice is somewhat strict or even harsh. In a sense, it is not only reasonable, but it is a normal state in a complex society. It is understandable that you are confused at present, because you don't have enough social experience to understand this problem, and you also lack sufficient preparation for the cruelty of the future society. Therefore, it is more sensible to do your best to take your own path in a down-to-earth manner. If your achievements really affect your courage to struggle, I think you can develop from your own strengths. There are many famous sayings that are reasonable. I send you a sentence. I can see that you are a thoughtful student. Don't get stuck in a useless corner. You will have a bright future. I wish you success.
