    My grades are quite good... mostly all A's, but I don't really care what I get and I don't try to do good, it just happens. I guess I'm just lucky that way.

    I seem to do really well when I'm most paranoid.

    Er, well kinda hard to tell as I haven't been in school all that long. But I know I'm gonna fail math AGAIN (fer the third fuckin time goddammit)... I asked a guidance counselour to see if they could put me in one the easy classes fer people who can't figger it out (my three grades in math so far: 13, 0, 26), and he just bitched at me fer callin it "the easy class". Well. So fuckin sorry I don't know yer fancy terms. Think I'm doing okay in English and Science though, and of course Ind. Reading is a given, so, yeah. I'm not completely retarded. Just the math side of my brain. :p And great grades aren't real important to me. I just wanna pass and get the hell out.

    In grad school, you have to keep a 3.0. I think I'm somewhere around 3.5, but I don't think I really deserve it. They grade really easy in education.

    I think in high school I ended up with a 3.5 or so, mostly due to the fact that I never really went during my freshman year. Now, after one year of college, I've got about a 3.7. Grades aren't all that important to me. I'm much more concerned with learning.

    A's mostly, a few B's, C's in shitty courses like gym because I refuse to change/show up.

    Why do people find this hard to believe? I often have to pull out the report card to prove, yes, I do get mostly A's! I didn't know I made that big of an ass out of myself, but I guess I do. [​IMG]

    I like having good grades. Although, I don't believe they are a serious measurement of how smart you are, secretly, it is still nice to know in the back of my brain. Like, "hahaha, those bastards think I'm an idiot, well my SAT score proves them wrong!" It's sick satisfaction.

    But if anybody asked me to my face why I get good grades, I wouldn't admit to my reasoning, I'd say it is because my parents. Which is part true, they expect A's and B's from me.

    I was in some "gifted" classes program for awhile, but not so much anymore. I just couldn't be around those kids, especailly the teacher. She made mean jokes about me, which were never funny. She made it clear what she thought of me, "Who did this little whore fuck to get into my class?". She was very good at saying things without speaking. I hated that.

    oh, anyways, I guess that was way more than you wanted to know. My apologies... wooops. [​IMG]

    lover/youngpeace, that's terrible :(



    Myself...I've never in my life got anything but an A...I've come dangerously close to Bs several times and I'm not entirely sure how I managed, but somehow I've pulled it off, taking all the advanced classed, too. Except math, in which case I was in the slow kid class, and science, which I was in the not FASTEST class, but second this year, for chemistry, and dropped it at the semester because i seriously would have killed myself if I had to sit through one more period.

    I'm incredibly slow, really, when it comes to learning things like math and numbers and reasoning, but random things just seem to stick to me well to make up for my inability to comprehend anything useful in life. I mean, lot's of people say that they're no good at math, but seriously, so much of what I try to learn is just so far beyond me it's not even funny. So, while I got really crappy scores on the math portion of the SATS, I got an 800 on the verbal. Which is obviously largely due to intelligent guesses...but it's still fun to have.

    Take THAT studies that link experimenting with drugs to poor academic performance.

    My grades aren't really good.
    I've been left back, so I got to repeat my third year in highschool. Well; acctually I got a B, that a just means that I had to go to another (lower) class. But, I didn't want that. So, I'm repeating my year. sigh, I'm not looking forward to it. I don't get good grades, probably because I don't study. So, it's my own fault. But it still sucks... :(

    Well I've finished college and waiting for the exam results. No idea what they'll be. I need two C's and a D to get on my uni course. So that or anything better will be sweet.

    I never really cared about grades. Some of my friends did. So they got all A's, having studied almost constantly and worried themselves crazy. Which always stuck me as slightly insane.

    My grades were the result of ability (reasonably high) and motivation (low). Which always worked out enough to get by. So I just never saw the point of trying harder.

    Straight A's.. that's really the only thing I have going for me--my academics. I skipped a grade, yet I'm still in the all the gifted and advanced gifted classes. It's not really due to studying really hard or all that, though I do study. It's ability or something, I guess.

    In middle school though, I always got B's in gym. Luckily, my freshman year of High School, I got an A :D

    Well, we have a scale from 1 to 5, and if you get 1 in anything by the end of the year, then you've failed.
    However, I got everything 5 for the last two years, so I guess my grades are quite good.
    I study quite a lot and I try to do all my school work on time and all, because education means a lot to me - only with education I can follow my dreams.

    So, yea, grades are quite important to me.

    Love,
    Borut

    "College" is the equivalent of high school in Britain. After that they have "university" which is the same as our university/college.

    Anyway, I graduated with a 4.0, so I'm happy. I do keep my grades up, but I'm not a nerd and have no intentions of going to grad school. I learn best outside the classroom.
