I hate them. Hate. To me they say, "Good, but not good enough." They are the stepchild of grades.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

“Not dead yet!”
Dammit, Aims, they are not.
Then again, when I taught, I stuck by the maxim that a C was average, a B was very good work and an A absolutely rocked my world monumentally.
Besides, one grade does not define you, either as a student or as a human.

It is entirely possible I am a cranky perfectionist and not at all logical about this.

A B is good Aims! You should be proud of yourself. I have no idea how you are managing to do everything you are doing right now.
I'm starting to feel really sore from my tea disaster this morning, so I think it is time for bed. Night, Bitches!

Our wings are not tired
My parents instilled the belief in me that anything less than 100% was failure. I got grounded more than once for A's that weren't 100%.
Is this not correct?

It is tough for this grade whore to admit it, but the above is absolutely true. Also, those that matter would only consider a B for The Empress to mean Beautiful or Bodacious, or any number of appropriate B words.

Aims, a B is not a bad grade.
