All the jerks that gave you A's gave me C+'s despite the fact I didn't make stupid mistakes like spelling errors and kept grammatical issues to a minimum. Why? Because I often wrote things contradictory to their opinions. One year that I had a particularly annoying English teacher, she assigned us a fairly open "argumentative" paper. I handed in a paper on why literary analysis was stupid and a waste of time. I spent more time on that with all kinds of research because I wanted to send a message. It got the lowest possible C.
Later on, particularly in college, I learned that I did better just writing a bunch of off the cuff BS the night before with whatever crap sources I could find in 30 minutes. So that's what I did.
Reminds me of my essay writing classes in college where I was getting Cs with a rare B here and there. One day I wrote about my friend's girlfriend problem where she was still holding on to her ex. For some reason I got an A for that even though I had the usual amount of grammar mistakes.
