Grades

I'm on Summer now, but my grades are diarrhea.
I think I made a 71 for my yearly average in Geometry. Like, fuck. That's a point above failing.

I think my GPA is a whopping 2.6.

But I made commended on my English TAKS (Texas' standardized test) which only 16% of sophomores in my school could do SO I SHOULD BE IN THE TOP 20% BUT NO I'M ACTUALLY IN THE TOP 150% FUK SOCIETY.

Edit: Actually I just checked my GPA is a 2.8 and I'm in the top 50% but I still suck nutsacks at school.

i have a little brother (who's a freshman i think) who told me it was the "STARR" or something now and i said "that's retarded" and then he said it was only 4 hours long and i said "that's not retarded"

the end

Oh yeah. Freshman and below all have to take the STARR test.
The sophomores and above also have to take it, but it doesn't count towards anything.
In the writing portion of the test, we can just write "dicky weiners fuck you" and nothing'll happen.

But yeah the STARR's noticably harder than the TAKS. Really sucks for the freshman and below.

oh good, now the TEA can have an even BIGGER boner for that fucking test and make everyone obsess over it even more

good for them i guess?

lol i passed

Anyone with failing grades gets b& next year so you can focus on your schoolwork.

Hell, if anyone's failing maybe we should start a homework forum... And that's enough advice outta Uncle Rahvin.

banned for 10 months for : I know you're already going to suffer enough, but

i checked my OGT scores today. I did really well and was better than anyone else I saw on the score sheet. Hooray.

I'm going to miss this year, actually. My two favorite classes this year had some of the most awesome teachers I will ever had, and to top that off, people my age that I could actually relate to. (Honors English and Honors Global Studies)
It's just been a good year for me. Stressful, but good.

i made my schedule for next year with my counselor

1st Bell - AP European History
2nd Bell - AP Physics
3rd Bell - SL History of Americas (I'll probably drop this to become a student aide)
4th Bell - HL English III
5th Bell - Digital Engineering
6th Bell - HL Math
7th Bell - HL Chemistry

Next year is going to be so damn stressful.

What do HL and SL stand for?

HL - Higher Level
SL - Higher Level

HL classes are basically AP classes and they give the same GPA boost. The only difference is that they're all two year classes, they don't give you college credit, and only IB students can take them. SL classes are basically Honors classes but in the IB program.

yeah, our school system is completely different. Honors classes give a GPA boost, AP give college credit and a GPA boost.
And then there's A and B classes.

that's because IB is like completely independent from the school system or something

I've never heard of it, to be honest.

i'm not going for the IB Diploma because it's pretty much useless. You don't even know if you get it until after you're accepted at college. I'm just kind of a rogue agent in the IB program.

anyone can join IB, grades don't matter.

lol good grades.
All I care about is passing.

i couldn't do that in high school. i didn't think it was fun at all to shoot for the bare minimum, and i always tried to manage work and play as best as i could

except in the last semester of my senior year where i stopped caring as seniors do because LOL FUCK HIGH SCHOOL WORST YEARS EVER

I don't shoot for bare minimum
I just don't shoot for anything.

if you don't care then why are you in school?

jesus christ i had this same conversation with milobased

I do care
I care enough not to fail/ get shitty grades.
Let's say I shoot for middle then.
