Seriously, use common sense. If you have a group of 'D' students and a group of 'A' students, who do you think the more responsible group is going to be? You're always going to have aberrations like your Saab guy, but think about it. It takes a responsible, determined person to keep their grades up. Notice I didn't say "intelligent", because in high school that means little.
Driving is all about realizing the consequences of your actions, and assuming the responsibility of being behind a ton and a half of steel. Doing well in school obviously isn't a perfect correlation, but it's no different than them giving discounts to married people or being 25 or older (at least in Michigan, YMMV). The company's assumption of risk is less, and working hard in school is just one small piece taken out of your insurance bill.

My point is when you don't have anything else to worry about (food, clothes) when you are in school you can concentrate and get good grades. When you have to work to pay your bills school can sometimes come second. I guess your opinion of people who don't get A's is very low, taking nothing into account about the situation of their life.
