However, the commenter also faults the teacher. They argue the teacher should explain that developing skills and work ethic through effort offers long-term benefits (like succeeding in higher grades), even if not immediately reflected in the current SBG grade. The commenter suggests the teacher is part of the problem if they didn't clearly communicate the grading criteria from the start and failed to offer encouragement or perspective beyond the grade itself. Not doing so is compared to a manager demanding extra work without being able to reward it.
