hehe...

I failed Geometry in HS.

I never did the homework and wouldn't pay attention in class.

I absorbed more than I thought because I took it the next year and slept the entire year in that class, yet passed with a B. :D

Hee hee - I failed Algebra/Trig, which I was taking pass/fail, by never showing up. I still graduated with honors - fortunately my college never asked for my final transcript.

Algebra 2 my Sophomore year. I've always hated math, and therefore I always do horribly in math. I can't stand it and I can't stand homework. Gah, now that I'm in college I gotta work my ass off though. No point in paying thousands of dollars just to sit and fail.

I learned a week before I graduated that I had failed sophomore honor's english. I guess I forgot to turn in a research paper :Q. So I wrote a new one and turned it in, ended up getting an A.

I had this evil Algebra teacher last semester who does all this what I call 'psychological propoganda'. She always tried to manipulate people's thoughts and most of the class gave into it, and the whole class was Ds, Fs, and I think one C. Sucks, huh? I'm only hoping I scraped the D like I did last quarter, and if I don't I'll have to go to summer school. I go to a really heavily overcrowded school, and they're thinking about canceling summer school cause they don't have the money for it. If they do that, I'll have to repeat 9th grade just over that stupid Algebra woman.

But really, I don't see what's so bad about repeating a grade. You get more credits through your time in high school, right?

I don't see how anyone could fail Spanish, my Spanish II class was the high point of my day, but maybe that's because my forte is language and not math. :D

Why were you folks absent 50+ times a year? Are you that dumb to think that it can't hurt?

Yep, and I believe it was Geometry. Let's just say the teacher and I didn't see eye to eye.

never failed anything is HS cause those damn classes were too easyyyy!!! How can you fail? Just listen a little in class and you'll pass. If you ever take course in the university try something like Partial Differential, Abstract Algebra, Probability, abd Advance Calculus. :) Take this as a reminder never to screw around in High School cause when you apply to a University they do look at your grades. :) If you don't mind flipping burgers keep up the good work in failing all your classes.

I failed my High School Final Graduation exam.. dont ask me how it happened.. but the fact that it happened.

As for other classes, I regularly failed my math class (well it happened because my teacher was "partial to me"). Other than that I dont think I failed any clases otherwise. Maybe once or twice physics and chem.. but i really didnt care, the 12th finals was the big one.. and somehow I ended up failing that one badly.

Well atleast I am over it now. But back then I was a nervous reck. Something unexplained happened and I got a 51/200 (cut off 70/200) in math. I retook it, passed it and took off for the US.
