While this is very reasonable, from what I've seen, young men tend to
focus exclusively on ONE object/thing at a time. This one will obsess
over making a 100% on every paper; that one will obsess over his parttime
job; another will obsess over church; another over Scouts. They appear
to believe that doing VERY well in any one relieves them of the need to
function in the others.
At least the grade requirement shows them that life is (if I may say so)
multi-tasking.
IMO YMMV etc
