<p>We started school August 20th, so this the start of my third week. I'm looking at my grades online but they are "okay" I have 2 B's and a C and 100 percent (I have 6 classes those are the ones posted up)</p>
<p>I know you guys are gonna say it's the 12th day of school, chill out which is so true, but still it's annoying, like for instance I'm in Honors English 3 and last year in the Honors English 2 class it's was so laid back, I'll admit I didn't do much and I got an A+! But the new teacher has a reputation for being very strict and not.."rude" but lame and dry as far as his personality goes and we had a little short essay assigned which I did the night before it was due and man did I have plenty of grammar errors..lets just say I got a D+. </p>
<p>It's not that big of a deal since it's the second of 2 grades he's put in so far lol but it's still makes me feel worried like I'm gonna trapped in that grade range and there's no turning back idk :P</p>
<p>sorry for grammar errors I wrote this really fast lol</p>
<p>Junior year btw</p>
<p>maybe there is grade deflation.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>“You deserved a D. Next time do A work and you’ll get an A.”</p>
<p>A teacher said this to me once and I was p!sseded when she said it. But it’s so true. You must perform to that teacher’s standards, plain and simple.</p>
<p>^ Screw that, if your work is eminent to you and other adults, it’s good. My English teacher is just picky, giving me a D on word choice for using higher level words…</p>
<p>Microsoft Word 2007 corrects all of my stupid grammar errors…and our school computer labs use it along with windows 7. :)</p>
<p>Anyways, I always try to get off to a strong start. But if you don’t you can still bounce back, but you need to get 95+ on everything to make significant gains.</p>
<p>^ Windows 7 already? Your school must have money lol. My school is cheap and spends all their money on useless things. We still use XP Pro and old computers.</p>
<p>We had Windows XP when I was in 6th and 7th grade. The computers were circa 2002. Then they just skipped Vista and converted everything to Windows 7.</p>
<p>The computers were really old until this year.</p>
<p>That happens to me but eventually the grades even out.</p>
<p>I remember I got a 29/45 on a Memorizing Prepositions quiz in language, first grade for 3rd quarter(2nd semester). It rebounded to a 96 average for the quarter and 97 for the semester.</p>
<p>It’s okay, I already have a C in AP Comp, and i’ve only been in school 3 days…I failed 2 quizzes :(</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, you probably deserved that one, I mean grammar is the easiest thing there is. You probably could have done better work in 5 minutes if you had used proper grammar and not put a lot of thought into the actual work. My English teachers give essays an automatic F (50%) if they have more than 2 typos per page, and frankly I think they are perfectly entitled to do that because even kindergarteners know grammar.</p>
<p>Aside from that, it is very possible to bring your grades up. I had six F’s freshman year, in six classes. At the end I got an A+, four A’s and an A minus…</p>
<p>Yeah. </p>
<p>Also, if you’re starting out great, they can plummet.</p>
<p>I currently have 97+ in all my classes after 5 weeks, but I’m sure they’re going to tumble soon. -_-</p>
<p>XD thank guys again I’m doing better in that class, now it’s Algebra 2 I’m worried about now lol</p>
<p>Darnit, my Geometry grade tumbled to 96.876% after getting 94 on a test(teacher doesn’t round)</p>
<p>My 97+ streak is over…</p>
