I failed my first three years of high school because I liked to read instead of pay attention to lessons and take tests. I also liked to sleep. My senior year, I decided to turn around and actually work. Straight A's easily. School isn't hard.

360*?
The thing that pushed me more than anything is that I dropped out of public high school and started attending a private school, which I was paying for out of my own pocket. I figured I may as well start doing stuff if I am going to pay for it. Plus, it wasn't that difficult. 2 days of school a week, hour and a half each day, 10 classes? Easy. I had three teachers for those classes and it was one-on-one, which was what I loved. I hate the classroom setup. The teachers were nice, too. For two of the classes, History and Science, all we did was make jokes and talk about history and mythology.
I don't care if it's rounded or not, you need to study more.
That would be awesomeQuote:

I don't get the american system at all.
Im currently on target for all my subjects, and Im above target for Sociology somehow. My target is aBc for my GCSEs (This means I'll probably get B's but if I really try Im capable of an A, If I don't put the effort in I could get a C)
Yeah it's failing. 60 is passing in most states.Quote:

While I think you should have tried harder to get a passing grade, I can somewhat commiserate with the almost rounded up blues. I really wanted a 95 average (A+, I suppose?) last quarter and I came so close to it, a 94.47. I can't complain because it's still good, but man. xD
At this point, you ought to realize why it is you received the grade you did - simply look at your own posts. They speak volumes of your attitude and ability to properly reason and think.Quote:

No one is here to hold your hand and cradle you after you fail. Bite your lip and grow up.
lol nominus u seem to misunderstand me in terms of everything I say...how do you do it..Im not asking anyone for anything except for to listen that I think that 59.9 grades are uncool and unfair...if you don't believe that then stuff
We don't say this to other members. Don't do it again.

and bunny...so you only had 1.5 hours of school a day!?
I have like 9 hours of school a day...and I have to wake up at like 5:00 so most days I don't sleep...pretty stressful
If you had actually resolved to change your situation, you wouldn't have made this thread in the first place. At least you school uses a ten point system; at mine, failing is a 69.99 and below, not that I have anything to worry about. Grades are only as unfair as you make them.Quote:

and I don't hate u or anything but I really hope you get a 69.99 cuz even tho you have all this "logic" you believe you'd still be pretty pissed
You gotta work with the system. No one's going to take up arms alongside you for a cause as trivial as percentage rounding.
