Why The High Expectations

Whats with the high expectations for kids, nowadays. Its a pain in the ass. I would love to be samrt ass like others but i know reality, I'm not a genius and I wont ever be. I'm a creative person with creative outlets. I don't like the act that my dad is forcing it apon me to get 80% and higher, when I just can concieve taht under certain reasons. I really dont like the fact my privaleges are beimg taken away becuase im just cant make a cut that my dad set up for me. I'm happy with a 78% average, I'm close enough. I'm not like a stoner or a mega loser, he should just leave me alone.
