In my opinion, grades are just a measuring system that schools created to determine how much information kids can remember over the course of a year. If you remember most of the content from the year, you get a good grade. If you happen to have a bad memory, or don't pay attention, then you get a bad grade. But having a good or bad grade doesn't determine whether or not a person is intelligent. Intelligence, unlike school grades, come from knowledge you already have and how well you can apply it. School grades students on their ability to know info that they might not need in the future, not on the knowledge they might already have about the world and how to navigate it. Therefore, I believe grades do not define a person's intelligence.
