The option to upgrade your marks has really thrown out the need to do overly well in high school anyways. I think for most people I know (anecdotal I know), the realization that their grades aren't good enough to get into whatever post secondary they wanted to do makes them strive to do well when they upgrade.
For example my math grades were abysmal in High School and I could never get myself to care, but when I upgraded I knew that this was my last chance and I needed to nail it to get my average up to get into school after. Most people aren't upgrading a full course load anyways, so it's a lot easier.
Outside of that, if your not able to get motivated to do well when you upgrade than you're probably not cut out for post secondary anyways.
