That's why you get good grades and attendance, and you don't even have to take the exams. That's what I do every year.

EDIT: And I don't study much unless its five minutes before the test itself lol.

 

Sounds like you're ready to be a Senator! :up:

Really? That's stupid. In my school, if you get a 2.0 GPA, don't get in trouble, don't miss any assignments and only miss three days, you don't have to take them.

 

Just wait to college and they don't give a crap what you get, its all up to you and you only.

 

Whats an E?

 

and still they are so much better than everything that comes after that.

 

My daughter in grammer school gets E's, they are excellent, S is satisfactory


But I never heard of an E in High School

 

I've heard it for pre-k and kindergarden too but never high school. I'm guessing its like an F since he got a 57%? :dunno:

 

All I know is I don't want one, taking 18 credits this semester, I started today and I already have a ton of work :cry:

 

Ick! I don't miss those days. What I would always do is give it 2 or 3 weeks, then you can figure out which assingments to complete and which ones to skip. Which profs want you to read and which like to hear themselves talk, etc.
Good luck!

 

Hmm. That's interesting.

 

You know what sucks worse? Dropping out of school, and wasting your opportunity to go to college. :hi5:

 

Wait till you reach college and later entrance exams. The one I'm studying for, MCAT, is roughly 6 hours long and the curve is nasty. Miss a few questions out of 70 in the biology section and it's game over. I sorta miss high school exams now.

 

Oh you're Asian you'll pass...:shifty:

 

It ain't a matter of passing, it's all about beating the other Asians. And I'm fearful my South American heritage would come and bite me there. :shifty:

 

Straz, I realize not now, but some day this will be a life lesson. I know that you feel slighted now, but turn that around next semester and make better quarter grades. We've all been through difficult teachers and bosses, and most have survived and thrived. Best of luck to you. :up:

 

Instead of studying you were in here debating Ted Ginn last night and ignoring all efforts to get you to stop and go study. Don't come in here complaining about something you could have improved with effort. I have little patience for those that do not take responsibilty for their own inactions and then act the victim..

 

Well said dad. :hi5:

 

He gon' git it. :tongue2:

 

hater................

yeah man like i tell most. learn from it, suck it up, and move on. Always learn from it though, as I don't want a whole semesters worth of these threads :pointlol:

 

and fyi if your teacher is bad, learn how to interact with him/her, get used to it, because professors/teachers in college will vary greatly as well. And you will have to communicate, it doesn't make you an *** kisser to try your hardest and ask the teacher, what you can do to improve.

 

Good point. I was failing the **** out of Calculus my freshman year of college. I got much worse than a 57 on a test. I went to his office, sat down with him, and talked to him about. He tried to show me what I did wrong and how I could fix it. I got a D in the class. But I probably should have failed. I think showing that I cared helped.

Same thing with grad school. My first midterm last semester I made a 75. I talked to my professor, went over my mistakes, and he told me to be sure and get a 95 on the final. He emailed me the day after the 3 hour final (we also had to do a 15 page paper along with the final, I long for the days of high school homework) and said he admired the way I worked towards getting a 93 on my final. It probably helped my overall grade that I went to talk to him on a number of occasions.

 

sucks straz, but marty makes a good point.

when i took ap gov back in high school, our teacher acknowledged that exams were dumb, so she'd give us a multiple choice take home exam that we could work with others on. never needed to though because every answer was always C. she figured, half the people were planning on taking the ap exam, the other half weren't. so why bother forcing people to learn how to test if they weren't going to anyway. (really dumb way for a teacher to think but it was AWESOME for us.). she also would let you sleep if you had an valid excuse (like if you had practice late the night before) and would let you turn in all your hw assignments at the end of the semester for full credit. best teacher ever

 

And at worst, talk to fellow students if the professor/teacher really isn't approachable (there will be some but few). I'm sure there's gotta be at least one guy doing well in the class that you can pick his brain apart.

 

Sounds like my experience as a History major. :pity:

Like others have said network in college that is for sure.

 

yeah plus study groups are a great way to meet girls, but seeing as how straz already tied himself to the porch :pity:

 

Worked for me. :up:

 

get to the part where little regan came along......

 

I may not trust a U$C Trojan but I trust a different Trojan. :shifty:

 

So I am guess ing goverment is not your best subject.................. Dont worry I sucked at it last year.

 

do worry or don't?????????????????? im so confused :cry:

 

What at your school you dont have to take exams if you have god attendence and good grades. Man if I was at your school I would never have to take exams. I dont study either.
