Jesus fscking christ I have no idea. I pretty much aced the fitness test, but there's also this "Leadership" portion of the mark, and I guess that's where I fscked up :frown:
Did you volunteer for PE? Because I know it was optional when I was in gr. 11...

I'm part of the "Leadership" program at my school, and PE + early morning SS is required as part of the program. The PE block is just an excuse to go on field trips moreless.

Jesus, there are a lot of pricks on ATOT (full of themselves too). THose grades aren't the best, but theyre quite a bit above average and pretty damn good IMO.

ok well that's a 3.0 GPA if you use a standard A-F scale. A 3.0 isn't anything to brag about, especially for an asian kid, but it's not exactly failing either.

I had a 3.0 in high school and I always felt like a failure. But I guess technically that "is" above average.

I think about half of the students dropped out of two classes I took this past fall -- a B average isn't all that bad..c'mon guys.

They're good if you've accepted a life of mediocrity. Unless of course bootymac is a nationally ranked tennis player or a world renowned violinist and is too busy practicing to study.

All my mom had to say was "only 1 above 90%, stop playing games so much"

Typical Chinese parents :roll:

I agree with your mom.

Unless the best you could honestly do is average mid 80's.

i think you've fell for the indoctrination that education is the only mean to success.

but it probably is for bitter pimple farmers.

Of course it is not the only means to success but it is a good one since it can get you into better universities. But from what ive seen of averages, those who graduate from universities tend to be more successful than highschool drop outs. Of course this is a dramatization of bootymac's situation, but it illustrates the point more. Of course you can be successful without a highschool education, but it sure is a lot easier with one.

I just hope you're getting some good procrastinating in...shouldn't be too hard to sleep through and get an A average in HS. Just remember to test well for the universities...or be the star quarterback.
