I still remember school, and with fond memories. I still have all my report card (Good and Bad) What grades are you getting, or what grades did you get? (This doesn't have to be a personal topic) But remember, if you don't answer, that means I assume you received "F's."

Posted By: Kevin Oct 14, 2004 - 02:32 pm

Hmm. I remember the good and the bad as well. I was terrible in grade 4/5, but since grade 6, I haven't gotten lower than a "B" in any of my classes. In fact, in Grade seven, I managed to obtain strait "A's" throughout the year. As of now, I have 100% in Concert Band, 100% in Jazz Band, 100% in Planning, 97% in Science, 92% in English, and 85% in Socials Studies, though this is only my first semester. Next semester I have easier courses (Bands, English, French, PE, Math)

100% in Jazz Band???

In our school Jazz Band is an extra Curricular activity.

Well, in our school it's after school as well, but it counts as a course on your report card.

Posted By: Magus Oct 14, 2004 - 07:08 pm

Really? Does it count for your GPA? That would be pretty awsome!

Posted By: Kevin Oct 14, 2004 - 07:11 pm

Yep. It's a great way to raise your average, seeing as it's almost a garuanteed "A," since students who don't get an "A," aren't allowed in the course.

GRRRR...

K & 2-4 (skipped 1st grade): all As, perfect honor roll student.
5: Flunked it the first time, aced it the second time.
6-8: mostly all As.
9-11: pretty much either an A or an F in every class...about 50% As, 50% Fs. Dropped out halfway through 11th (after doing 13 chapters of Chemistry in one week to get caught up and bring my grade up from an F to an A).
GED: 355 (a high score, 225 was passing)
13-14: mostly As; dropped out of 3rd semester of college.

There's a pattern there, but I'll leave it to others to psychoanalyze.

As a side note, my attendance record was similar. In High School I distinctly remember a time when I was going to class only a couple of times a week, sometimes only once. During that time, I was still acing Advanced Placement Algebra II. There was a preppy girl in my class who had perfect attendance but got a lower grade than me (though still an A or high B) and was so upset... I felt bad for her. She probably had to work harder at it too; algebra came easy to me.
Of course, now she's probably got a much easier job making five times more pay than I do.

I don't like math. It comes harder to me than other subjects and I find it the least attractive. I took Algebra as an advanced class in 8th grade. I qualified, then, for honors geomatry but my dad told me not to take it so I could get a better grade in Geomatry. It was the exact same thing as the honors class, but they got the weighted grade for it! Grrr...

For a good deal of grade school we had a slightly different grading scale. I'd like to say we had it until fourth grade, or maybe just until third, but I can't be sure.

We had only three grades: S, (something else tht I can't remember) and N. The S was for superior and the N was Needs Improvement. I don't remember what he middle one one, but it was basically saying you were doing O.K.

But that was then. I much prefer

I just got interms, and I've got a gpa average of 95%. All Right! That's an A+!!!

Posted By: Magus Oct 21, 2004 - 07:37 pm

"interms"? Is that like your version of midterms?

Posted By: Kevin Oct 21, 2004 - 08:38 pm

We have six report cards. Two interms and four real report cards. Interms come a couple weeks into the term to let you know how you're doing, before real reports come out.

Grade School: They didn't give letter grades at our school until third grade. I was in the GATE program all through grade school. Got A's every quarter through elementary, jr. high, and high school, with the exception of a B+ in fourth grade PE.

I'm in college now, and I'm acing everything except Calculus. I have a low B in that class.

hey magus, i think we could quite possibly be in the same kind of program thingy.... i took spectra (advanced) in 8th and honors Geometry in 9th. i did fine. now im in honors Algebra2. urgh! ok, as far as grades go... ive never gotten anything lower than a b on my report card. ever.

Posted By: Kevin Oct 23, 2004 - 12:06 pm

Same with me. Actually, I've never received lower than 82%, but I suppose I should explain. Here, an A is 86%-100%, and a B is 74%-86%, though apparently; from people I've met who moved here from the States, classes are much harder here, so it sort of balances each other out.

Posted By: Magus Oct 23, 2004 - 08:24 pm

This is the general grading scale my school uses:

A: 100-90%

B: 89-80%

C: 79-70%

D: 69-60%

F: 59-0%

But, in my chemistry class our grading scale is the same as yours. In another class they get an even easier grading scale by two points, different teacher, though.

I have a 4.0 GPA and I always have had, except for 5th grade, when I got a D in math. I am like my uncle, who has really great intelligence.


...

That didn't make any sense, did it?

Posted By: Ariel Mar 26, 2005 - 05:23 pm

My grades varied depending on the subjects.In those days I was too busy hanging out with the musically inclined,and an outside drama group to care about anything else.

Posted By: Talon Sinnah Mar 30, 2005 - 01:03 pm

Mostly ABC's but a few D's. I never had many F's
