I failed GYM... never gone to it cause the guidence couselor gave me the wrong class and wouldnt change it. @$$

oh yeah and HEALTH class senior year. It was a filler class cause of some stupid requirement of min of 5 classes. Went to it a few times to hit on the girls but i stop going :)

High School memories... what a waste of time.

In my HS, it was gym/health. You'd have to go to summer school if you failed them. Sadly enough, you could fail pretty much any curricular class and still graduate easily.

That being said, I can't resist a Simpsons quote:

"Me fail English? That's unpossible!"

I know a girl who got straight As throughout high school but got a B+ on Drivers Ed. Drivers Ed isn't even a part of the school - it is optional and taught in the summer when school is closed - but the school still finds out what grade you got for it and uses that in your GPA. Then that caused her to not graduate at the top of her class and she didn't get the scholarships that the rest of us got. She is out thousands of dollars since she was caught speeding by 1-2 mph during drivers ed...

Sounds almost like me, I got a B in Driver's Ed, but have As everywhere else. Good thing is that Driver's Ed doesn't count in our GPA:). Our driver's ed grade was based on 2 written test, did just enought to get an A on the first one, but the second one I didn't get as high on(the teacher said it was going to be super easy so I didn't study...)

You have to be sort of lazy of fail any of the core classes, higher level classes are easier to fail though.

Only class I'm completely failing is spanish 3, but I suck at it and don't do the insane amounts of work that we have to do. It's basically more work than I have with all of my other classes combined. Biology is hard also because it's the first period of the day and i'm always dead tired and don't have a chance to do the work in study halls before :)

i got a D in my English AP because I ditched 3 whole months worth of class. I got a 5 on the AP Exam and had my grade readjusted to an A over the summer.

I broke my hand at the beginning of a semester of Typing class. My teacher neglected to inform me that I should switch classes...let me sit in there EVERY DAY not doing shiz....

then at the end of the year she tried to give me an F !

I was able to convince her to give me a D.
