It’s commonplace to do all right or be somewhere in the middle.
Being bottom or near the bottom has merit.
It means you are not interested in the run-of-the-mill way in which you are being taught. Your mind is elsewhere.
Fantasizing.
Many people who bottomed out at school have gone on to be rich and successful, not due to their pass marks, but because of their imagination.
So in order to succeed in your failure, you have to think of your failed situation as a good place to start from.
Good marks will not secure you an interesting life.
Your imagination will.

Well put. If we just have imagination, then we'd never be afraid of not being able to find a way out of a difficult place.
