PAP. Condición: New. New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Most students are told to do their best. But what does that actually mean? Does it mean earning an A in every class? Protecting a scholarship? Preserving mental health? Mastering the material? Pleasing adults? Staying ahead? Avoiding failure? Or building a life that can hold more than performance? What Grade Should I Shoot For? asks the question many students carry quietly but rarely say out loud. It is not an argument against grades, school, discipline, or excellence. Grades matter. They can affect scholarships, admissions, opportunities, confidence, and future access. But grades are not large enough to define a human being. Gregg Patten offers a wiser framework for thinking about achievement: conscious aim. A student learns to ask what the grade is for, what the class is worth, what the effort will cost, what season of life they are in, and what kind of future they are building. Sometimes the right target is an A. Sometimes it is a Strategic B. Sometimes it is completion, recovery, mastery, courage, or learning how not to disappear into performance. This book is for students, parents, teachers, homeschool families, lifelong learners, and adults who still feel trapped inside invisible grading systems. With clarity and compassion, it shows how to pursue achievement without surrendering identity, curiosity, rest, or inner direction. The goal is not to care less. The goal is to care accurately. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
