<p>This thread is so funny. </p>
<p>But really, a 97% isn't good enough?? Colleges don't really care, most transcripts just show an "A". I was happy to get an 82% in APUSH last semester...</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure a 97 percent won't destroy your chances of getting into HYPSM etc. And if you're gonna argue that a 98 is much smoother-looking, wouldn't a 100 be even better? XD</p>
<p>Go speak with your teacher about it; I'm sure he didn't do it on purpose. Maybe he put in a wrong grade by accident? Ask nicely!</p>
<p>I was almost certain this thread was a joke..</p>
<p>No, i don't much like 100%'s...i dont know why, but I would rather have 99 or 98 on the report than 100...just the look i guess, and personal preference (i mean, what difference is there between 100 and 98? LOL)</p>
<p>What difference is there between 97 and 98?</p>
<p>pwn3r, listen to yourself. Do you realize how ridiculous you sound?</p>
<p>What difference is there between 97 and 98?</p>
<p>Aesthetics.</p>
<p>Oh, cause you have to get a 98 in every class because a 98 looks purty? Whatever floats your boat....</p>
<p>My favorite number is "3", but I don't dare get a 3% in all my classes.</p>
<p>just wondering.. pwn3r do you mildly have ADD? you seem awfully jumpy.. but maybe that's just the impression i get.</p>
<p>^^ No i don't..how would ADD equate wanting a 98%?</p>
<p>Well, read the DSM. To try to justify their wholesale marketing of amphetamines, wanting to get an 98% on a test is now a symptom of ADHD, as per diagnostic criteria ad homminem, picsces, maria acto gracix.</p>
<p>How exactly does this make your teacher a jerk? People make mistakes, it's that simple, but you're the one being a jerk here getting so worked up over 1%. I would kill for a 85 in physics, let alone a 97. Get over it.</p>
<p>I read this thread seriously thinking it would be a joke about how jerk is the third derivative of position.. I might just be too geeky....</p>
<p>"^^ No i don't..how would ADD equate wanting a 98%?" Notice how I was speaking of your jumpiness and not your grade..</p>
<p>pwn3r
FAIL</p>
<p>this thread and the OP is truly upsetting and sad.</p>
<p>pedantic seems more like it..gawd</p>
<p>pwn3r, get real. Seriously.</p>
<p>I mean, look at the 7. It's much more sleek than the 8, which looks like two flattened circles on top of each other. In fact, you know what the guys at my all-boys' school use 8s for? That's right.</p>
<p>On the other hand, the 7, look. Two straight lines, one shorter than the other. How majestic is that? And the angle that the two make with each other, how much more splendid than that stupid squashed point of tangency the 8 has. </p>
<p>Seriously.</p>
<p>Well if I wasn't certain then, I'm certain now. Quit whoring for attention (I think I'm contributing to it though =( )</p>
<p>This has got to be a joke topic. After all, the thread creator only recently joined into this forum.</p>
