<p>that's...kinda extreme no offense</p>
<p>Crying?</p>
<p>well that was my last resort. it was just a few teardrops, and to tell you the truth, i DID feel like crying at that point, lol</p>
<p>ugh. an 89.42 in math. .42!!!!! He rounds up if its .5, so I was exactly .03 points away from an A-. $%^&<em>.
*sigh</em></p>
<p>Haha, director'scut, that was like me! For French I went in with an 88 and got a 95 on the midterm, math I went in with an 84 and got a 98 on the midterm, chem I went in with an 89.4 and got a 94 on the midterm. I just wished my English Regents counted as a midterm. It is completely unfair that it doesn't, I had a 90, and I got a 100 on the Regents so it would have made it an A. Not really b/c I care about getting a 90 as opposed to a 94, but just because I'm really proud of myself---I'd love to know I got an A with my English teacher, who is undoubtedly the second hardest teacher in my school.</p>
<p>Wow..I've never been granted a semester grade change, let alone a bump in grade. The only LEGITIMATE reason you would be granted a semester grade change is if the quarter grades or the exam grades were messed up. Any other reasons are dishonest and selfish. </p>
<p>I had a B- in AP Euro my senior year and I was deferred from a university. I asked my teacher if he could bump it up because I wanted to get into this university really badly and they look at semester grades. He didn't budge. I realize now that I was selfish and dishonest. I didn't earn a B+, I earned a B- with hard work. </p>
<p>You may get away with this now in high school, but you won't get away with it in college. I was 2 points away from 3.5ing my college psych course and my prof knew how hard I worked, reviewed with him before every exam and I did not get the 3.5. (And yes, he knew my name and face out of 600 students and I didn't get any sympathy from him). You get the grade you earn and if you guys are that greedy about grades, you will have a rude awakening in your first semester of college. I guarantee it.</p>

right now, im working my butt off for these 2 As because her C is the reason im sal and not val at the moment when i have been for the past 3.5 years. </p>
<p>it might not be fair for her to do that for me but let's admit that ive worked extremely hard for my entire academic career to develop a reputation and image that would lead her to help me out like that.

<p>When you arrive to college, nobody cares if you were a sal instead of a val. I think the whole sal/val is a joke. People who took blowoff classes got higher GPAs than me and I took APs. Also, there were 20 sals and one val. It's a new beginning. And, don't complain about a C in high school. I'm glad I got a 2.0 in a math course in COLLEGE because I was failing and was exam dependant. A CUMULATIVE FINAL determined if I was going to retake a course and lose money and credits or pass. And I worked hard all semester.</p>
<p>It was on the local news, some kid that went to UMass-Amherst was suppose to get a A- in a class, but the teacher changed his grading scale, and the kid got a C instead. But the problem is he wants to go to Law School, so he sued the school.</p>
