As an academic scientist, I am somewhat cynically amused by the latter.
The point is not to get grades because they have
an intrinsic value. They plus $0.85 in the US will get you a cup of
mediocre coffee (or a coke).
The point is that good grades gets you options for the future, just
like the ability to fix a 30 year old MGB expands the range of cars you
might own and enjoy.
