1) In high school you don't really need to try, the maximum amount of effort needed to get an A in almost all classes. Quality of work is rarely reviewed as you can see in math classes. My math class grades my homework by looking to see if I have numbers on paper they don't care if I actually tried or not, then they don't help me actually understand it.
2) An A is seen as average now because most classes in high school are too easy. This is because parents blame the teachers for bad grades and kids don't take responsibility so teachers decide that they don't want to deal with the parents so they make their curriculum so easy that anyone could pass it so that they can avoid problems.
3) I believe that grades shouldn't be as important as they are. They decide the schools budget and whether you escape from high school or not. If they weren't as important and teachers could teach for learning instead of remembering then we would actually gain from the system rather than lose.
