"Skipping classes and not doing homework" is the name of the game to survive in school.
I skipped classes to study, but borrow notes from the ones who attended classes.
Homework - pfff...just copy.
What does it mean to be a good student?

Hehehe. Very true.
Q: What does it mean to be a good student? A: Quitting school :).
(of course, i use a slightly modified concept of the word "student"--namely a learner, and not necessarily someone bound by the rules of the game--which would disqualify the quitter immediately :)

Well, would you say a good learner is a hard-working student, or the one that doesn't have to work that hard, but can still make the grade?

I would say a good learner would be a bad student--that is, a bad player in the game of state-education. State-education inevitably emphasizes shallow learning and preoccupation with grades, and secondarily real understanding.
