I failed Calc I in High School.
It was the spring of my Senior year, I didn't want to be there, and the teacher didn't even know what she was talking about.

Dont even know why I took that class...

Apparently, nobody here likes math classes. Isn't a computer job supposed to be heavily based on math, or is that just a bunch of stereotypical BS? :p

My college's computer sci program emphasizes math. My (cynical) theory is that they don't have the $$ for the technology.

I also failed AP Biology :)

Everyone loved that teacher, but I hated that man. He made up some stupid Polar Bear club and game, and liked to take pictures of girls with split skits at school. He was like 60 something probably, lol. (Dirty old man :D)

I laughed in class one time when he told us about his dog getting hit by lightning and then everytime it stormed the dog would hide in the bathtub! He just told me it wasn't funny, but I thought it was funny as crap.



But my high school days rocked, I still wished I was there. Everything just kinda fell apart when I graduated, or at least it feels like it did. All of my friends are gone, etc... *sigh...*

Yeah, I bombed a french class my junior year...no biggie. I am taking one now in college which is even better!
I couldn't stand when my counselor told me that if i failed ONE class, I was going to be screwed the rest of my educational career. What a pile...

Of course I have... But I always pass the important classes. :) Which is basically why I'm actually in college now :p
 

No! The only class I ever failed at high school was my AP music theory class. It was my last semester grade, though. I didn't do my homework at all. But I did understand the concepts in music theory and that was my last semester at high school (which pretty much doesn't matter :D), so I wasn't bothered.

Bombed Algebra 1 (of all classes) my sophomore year in High School. Maybe that's because Mrs. Ying was a hottie or I was never in class or didn't give a rats ass.

Of course my GPA suffered and I made up for it taking summer school classes, barely earning a B.

Millions of years ago when I was in high school I failed a few courses. Hated school. Geeze I was a terror. Interested in 3 things, having sex, cars, and motorcycles. Didn't even go to college. Worked in a dumbass factory job for 2 years. Then I said "screw this" Went to a community college and took a few courses. Did well. Transferred to a 5 year program. Did well. Went to graduate school. Twice. Did very well. Now I have more degrees than Clinton had interns. Now I am all grown up. Now my interests are having sex, cars, and motorcycles. Go figure.
