I know. I think there are 6 this year, and I believe there were 8 or 9 last year.

I think normal kids should give the graduation speeches because they better represent their class wheras the strange 4.0+ kids who "compete" for the role are outcasts ostracized by the fellow peers for being so obsessed with school.

No, they're not smart, just obedient. Think of them as well trained animals.

Smart kids pursue their own interests

Gov't- C
Foods- A
Math- B
TA- A
English- B

I am getting a C for Gov't because it's 1st period and our teacher resembles a tall American version of a young skinny Hitler....

Re: How are your grades so far?
 

I agree...

I mean, the smartest people I've ever met didn't get the BEST grades in school...the people most dedicated and focused on SCHOOLWORK are the ones who got the highest grades.

If I worked my ass off on schoolwork, I'd probably raise my average 5-7%. But I'd have a LOT less free time, I'd probably be miserable, would have to cut down on my hobbies like gaming/sporting/socializing/TV/movies. Not even CLOSE to being worth it.

85% average (when I know I can raise it a bit) is more than fine with me when I'm having fun.

Re: How are your grades so far?
 

Yeah, my scale is the same way, only we don't have minus grades A+ is a 97-100 A is a 93-96, B+ 89-92, etc. Anything below a 70 is failing but the GPA weight is messy too. If you get an A in a College Prep class, it's worth 4. An A an Honors class is worth 4.5 and in an AP class it's worth 5 (In a PX/GS class it's worth 3.5)

But anyhoo.

Sociology - 96
H German - 99 (actually, I think it's like 103, but the printout only goes to 99, I don't know why they don't just put 03)
H Government 87
AP English 92

<-------------Nerd alert!

99.5%-- Stage Band 12 (Jazz Band 12)
98%-- Concert Band 12
96%-- English 12
93%-- French 12
88%-- Principles of Math 12

Next semester, I'm taking...
Stage Band 12
Concert Band 12
Geography 12
Computer Science 12
Information Technology 12
Geology 12

That adds up to.. 9 courses.

My friend in French 12 is getting 100.3% in the course. :P Ah, bonus marks.. the sweetest thing..

Re: How are your grades so far?
 

uhm... my marks go something like this

accounting - 25%
English- 34%
Math - 1%
and chemistry - 31%

which adds up to a whopping 22.8% average....

Re: How are your grades so far?
 

Okay here's how my gade scale works to the best of my knowledge...

I think the highest possible GPA you could get is like 17 or 18. Thats if you have 7 courses, all honors classes, getting perfect 100's in all of them. My GPA of 12 is good, definatley in the upper half of my class, but since im in no honors classes, its really not as good as it might sound...or something...

Re: How are your grades so far?
 

Wow, you guys have some teachers that actually allow students to get 95+?

My English teacher has stated that he thinks 90 is DAMN NEAR perfection and the highest grade he's ever given out on a final report card is 86. On the mid-term class list, one girl has 86...one has 84...I have 82, and the next highest I think is 76.

When my dad was in school...the highest average from his high school graduating class was like 89%.
