A final marked submission cannot be redone, no, Zulf

You can fiddle with it according to teacher advice as long as you like, but once it's marked? Consider it gone.

Ah, that sucks. What peeves me off is that she took my FIRST DRAFT, and used it as my final copy. Everybody else was given critique to improve their pieces, and submitted final version. I didn't get that.

Oh well, that piece was something low like 8%, I think. I'll just have to do better next time.

Oh and Lee, I actually used to love LoTR Warhammer. I still have most of my pieces, but yeah, too expensive a hobby.

[Frizzle]

Yours was probably good enough then Zulf. I mean my teacher took like 3 of my bits of coursework straight away without having to do it again. The other two peices I had to do over again.

A teacher wouldn't put in work if it's shit and you can do better, unless you have a crappy teacher. Plus coursework is a maximum 30% of the grade, it's a fallback option if you do bad in one of the tests.

[Silk]

Tru-say. You reckon coursework is all that crucial towards your overall grade if you're aiming for A* (so long as you excel in your exam)? If so, I'll still have to step it up a bit.

[Frizzle]

A* is practically impossible in a subject, I wouldn't aim for it, I'd aim for an A. But I'd say if you got an overall B in your coursework, it'd bump a B+ up to an A.

Lee, geeks are going to be your bosses one day We're the ones with top degrees and vast job opportunities, remember?

And A* isn't practically impossible. I managed eight of 'em...

[Craig]

I'm not back but I'm at work and I an get online here once a week. I volunteer at the hospital but I don't get much work here.

Its not entirely their fault actually, they want the best out of their child, want you want it too if you have a child?
Besides he might be in 7th grade or lower, that was the time that my parents expect me to get all A's or else..
And also u might wanna put some the blame of the government too, since they are always promoting eugenics.

I'm in 11th grade which is probably why they freaked out. They really don't feel like paying for college and the want me to get scholarships...lots and lots of scholarships.
And by the way, Tim, I thought you were a Private member?

[Gen]

o.o since my notes in school are quite diferent, I think I get always c+ or B idk, because here we use numbers ^^
I think F=almost 0
F-=0
F+=2
E-=3
E=4
E+=5 o.O

Something like that...
so C=7,0
and A= 10
XD Ok litle confusing for you from USA or derivated countries, here you maybe got an eight XD isn't bad, I take that most of time =P

It's not what you know, it's who you know. Your grades mean shit all in the real world. Geek.

[Bryan]

Slap your parents.

Grades don't mean shit. High School is a waste of time.

The only marks that matter are what you do in life.

[ClearWater]

walk up to your parents.

slap them.

walk away.
that's fecking rediculous, expectations like that are just plain rediculous.

Never know. If you think about it I'de do the same to my kid. I'm not going to settle for average. Your going to want your kid to be the best. You want him/her to succeed and have a happy life and it's their choice to be hard. Perhaps in the end it's a really good thing.

[Mystical]

nah that doesnt work out too good. trust me

nods in agreement doesn't work at all!

[414de7fe6]

fuckin' "A"

Giggle.

I'm so immature today.

[Frizzle]

[Craig]

Hey, I don't mean to gravedig, but I'm back! Hi!

[Redblade]

Welcome back craig
Ahh its actually about knowing what you wanna be when you grow up and working hard to achieve it. That way you'll do your job with passion and not get bored of it too.
My dad's grades in school sucks, he got kicked out in high school, but he still managed to earn big bucks selling cars

[cara]

Haha. Omg. A b. xD

I failed three subjects. >_>
History, geography and french.
--Out of nine classes. Six mandatory to pass if I want to graduate.

Good god, Im failing half my classes. ._.

My mom thinks french is differently marked though, so I passed.
