That really should be the takeaway for every student complaining about their student life. In reality the marginal percentage point on an exam/paper/assignment means so very little in the big scheme of things that I find it very comical to hear about student grievances. Like their concerns should somehow be as important to governments as national defence, health care, etc.
Another thing that bothers me is when UofC/UofL/UofA students complain about tuition costs. The real cost of education is multiple times more than what students pay in tuition, plus if one actually cares enough about school to bother getting a decent GPA the province will give them a few grand in bursararies (We're not talking only high achievers here, Jason Lang scholarship anyone! plus many more ). In other words compared to many other places in the world students here are already getting an amazing deal.
