Are good grades an accurate prediction of future success?

Question

I need this question answered for a essay.

Answer 1

i don't think that good grades are so much a pre-cursor for future success as they are an indication of one's willingness to put their attention to the task at hand and take responsibility.as a matter of fact you should think this one through yourself and not look for the answer from someone else.it is an opinion question,there is no wrong answer.

Answer 2

Not neccesarily, I knew people in school who were smart and made good grades. But they got out of HS and didn't do anything with their lives. Can't be a success sitting on the couch all day.
