My mum worked on a sliding scale of reaction for my grades:

A+ = pride
A = approval
A- = less approval
B's = raised eyebrow of "you can do better"
C's = "What the hell? Work harder"
anything below = I'd be safer working with unusually aggressive lions while wearing a suit made from juicy succulent ham than having to tell my mum my grade.

All this has made me a neurotic Ph.D. student driven by my own fear of failure and unable to relate to any success outside of a standardises system of marking.
