poo you proved me wrong lol
Subject: Re: grades
Lemme have a see-see....hmmm...
In high school I "played the system" i.e. I did the minimal amount of work possible to get the A- (since A- and A and A+ were all worth the same grade point). So I guess you could say I was a straight A- student ;D
The junior year of high school I scored a 5.0 GPA off 5 A- and an A and got my P.E. class to pass/no pass.
Then my senior year, since I had gotten into a choice college, I no longer cared so I got my first B+ in years ;D
Subject: Re: grades
I'm in 8th grade and am getting all As and Bs, except for math, which I hate and am getting a C- in. It's really hard for me, even though my teacher says I'm not "working to my ability" and "have the potential to do better" etc. >:(
Subject: Re: grades
Mostly A's and B's. I graduated with a B+ average
Subject: Re: grades
Just about every year was different for me. 9th grade I got As,Bs, and Cs. 10th and 11th grade I stopped careing about school and got all Cs both years with one F thrown in there, but those two years were also a really hard time in my life, but thats a totally different story. Then I changed again and during my 12th grade year and made all As and Bs. My first two years in college have been just like my 9th grade year with a mix of As, Bs, and Cs.
Subject: Re: grades
When I was in private school up until 10th and I got all A's & B's. Until my parents put me in public school for the 11th & 12th grade & I learned the beauty of skipping school & being a jackass! ;D Then it was C's alllll the way ::)
Subject: Re: grades

Subject: Re: grades
Obviousy it's a completely different system here in the U.K and even our system has changed since I took exams but I passed 11 O'levels and 5 C.S.E's at school.I then went to college where I discovered drink and dope and scrapped through my art exam,did crap in the English A level I did at the same time and dropped out of Physics all together.I have to say it is my one big regret because I know I am capable of better and it meant I couldn't go to university so let that be a lesson to you younger members.........
Subject: Re: grades
W :oW!! We've got some smart cookies here (although "grades" really aren't a measure of intelligence IMHO) I, like a few others here, pulled straight A's until I found the wonders of partying. My senior class had 182 people and I graduated 91st. Talk about average. :-/
Subject: Re: grades
UK again, I got...
11 'O' Levels - Mostly A's with a couple of B's
3 'A' Levels - Maths - A, Physics - A, Chemistry - C (I got bored halfway through)
Easily enough to get into university!
Subject: Re: grades
U.K.
O-levels (at age 16)
Maths C
English Language C
Chemistry C
Physics B
Business Studies C
Sociology D
Left school after dropping out during my first year at A level. But since then I studied part-time for 10 years and finished with an MSc in a Physics-related subject.
Subject: Re: grades
In high school, mostly A's & B's with the occasional C. I graduated 25th in my class out of 496 students.
I took a fail on teacher's aide spring semester my senior year for getting caught forging attendance for some students while we had a substitute. It was for Spanish 1-2 class, last period, and I decided to drop the class and go home an hour earlier. Ironically, I received the senior award for Outstanding Foreign Language Student. 8)
Subject: Re: grades

the final grades are...
english honors: 88/89 (i don't remember which)
history honors: between 81 & 84
intro to business: 94
computers: 95-ish (would have been higher except our stupid computer teachers numbered the questions differently on the test and answer sheet for our final... >:()
the classes i have this semester (not final grades)
biology honors: 72
phys. ed.: 74 (my gym teacher can kiss my...assignment book.)
art: 88
geometry: 90 (my first A in math in a while!! :D)
german I: 97
my weighted GPA is an 89.950, unweighted is 85.something.
Subject: Re: grades
All the way through elementary school and junior high, I got A's and B's. Mostly A's.
Then I got to high school, and due to a number of reasons, including fears of my personal safety, I played hooky a lot the first year. Straight F's all the way.
I transferred to a different school, with no improvement. I was in fear for my safety, and there was a bureaucratic error that had my file mixed up with another student's, putting me in all "remedial" classes (read that as: "dumb class").
I ended up dropping out of high school.
I too the General Equivalency exam, and scored 311 (you needed 300 to pass). I was told that I had the highest scores ever seen at the time.
I started college and for two years was on the Dean's List for academic excellence with a 3.80, then a 3.85 GPA (out of a possible 4.0).
My high school years proves what someone else said, grades don't equal intelligece. :)
Subject: Re: grades
3.0GPA here on the average ::) I could improve now that I am back in college to finish my degree (got my AA almost 10 years ago but never got my BS) I am too set in my ways to study harder for some strange reason :P
I did get all 4.0s my first semester back since I was taking classes that I knew about ;D However this didnt last. Th second semester I had a 3.5. Hope this isnt a downward trend :-[
Subject: Re: grades
I was too busy having fun in high school so my grades were not the best. In college, I graduated "with honors."

Subject: Re: grades
School. What? Me study? I couldn't get more average than a 3.2 GPA. I think, maybe, I should have attended school 5 days a week instead of the average 2 or 3 that I actually did... oh yeah, and that homework thing... eh! I worked for real, so I said, "Screw that." I even failed PE for not attending a whole semester (I didn't think they'd actually fail me, but fail me they did!).
Strangely enough, I was always placed in the AP classes: English and History. And I also did a 1.5 year stint of Model United Nations and I also took this state Algebra exam in which I ranked fairly high...
I am friggin' lazy! The only reason I attended school is 'cause I liked to talk and hang out with some of the teachers.

I thought I remember reading in another thread that you said your parents expected you to get straight As all through school, so you did? Or am I thinking of someone else? Straighten me out here so I'm not confused ???

From 1st-8th grades I had perfect scores on everything (mother would have flogged me if I got anything less!), then we moved to another city and it all began with me trying to re-adjust, yet again, to the new surroundings. I never managed to re-adjust (that seems to be the story of my life, somehow). Actually, I don't even remember if my GPA was 3.2... It was 3-point-something (a low 3-point-something); very average, but no work and effort was involved :P

Please try not to take this the wrong way, but do you find it disturbing that you are able to achieve a respectable GPA with so little effort? What do you think this says about the California school system, or whichever school system you were in?

It's gotta be somewhere in the midwest like Kansas or something (they're the ones who banned teaching evolution in favour of creationism! Bwahahaha!).
Actually, US education is fairly good. The resources are there, it's just that the teachers and the students AND the parents are incredibly lazy!

Too true, too true...thank goodness my parents freaked out every time I got an A-, which was often ;D
Subject: Re: grades
Interesting question, but you know, I just can't remember - it was a looong time ago. I do have fond memories of my Spanish teacher though ;) She was sooo hot, and we accidentally met AFTER graduation. What an evening that was. An education and a half in one night ;D
Subject: Re: grades
Solid 60% average. I was too busy consuming drugs, alcohol and girls to be distracted with school.
Subject: Re: grades
Well as Gis said - the school system is alittle different here in the UK.
I finished secondary school with 7 A's and 4 B's. For AS Level I got an A and 3 B's (In Theatre I was one mark off an A!), and I'm currently working towards my A Levels. Been predicated an A in Media, and A/B in both English and Psych which is all good :] Need 3 B's to get into my 1st Uni choice!
