I stll can't help but find it a bit backwards, that they'll not allow you to use the PC but you're still able to play video games, which I doubt will get anybody... places.
Regardless, I'm not sure why one would need to get an A in spanish anyway. if you hate the class a B+ is pretty *censored* good. I would probably use it to catch up on some zzz's, just like I used my math class to work on programming with my graphing calculator, which put me in the odd situation of actually knowing how to do the stuff we did with it by hand... like for example quadform.
The only thing spanish, especially in north america, generally is useful for is as a second language for admission to a post secondary school.
Next time she says "it will get you places" ask her to elaborate. "like where?"
besides... it's not like you failed the class....
