<p>If its an A, and I know everyone else got worse grades, I just smile (no gloating) and listen to everyone gush about how "smart i am"
if its my friend who asks and he/she got a higher grade then i say nothing. </p>
<p>Anyways, its hard to ignore the nosy ppl in my school. Once, on report card day, when i was getting up to ask the teacher something, these ppl opened my zipper binder, where my report card was and looked at it (without my premission) it was a nightmare! i turned around to see the whole class ganged up around my desk staring at it and rolling their eyes.
If it was straight A's then i would have let ppl see it, but it wasnt....</p>
<p>I just tell people what grade I got. I think that just telling people is easier, because when I try to keep my grade to myself, people just pester me all block until I finally tell them..lol.</p>
<p>I blatantly tell people. It is what it is. Weather I fail my math test or Ace my AP Gov test-it's not being proud, pitiful, or anything of the nature. It is what it is, and if people seriously want to know, I have no issue with telling them.</p>
<p>I remember back in Physics B my classmates were much more grade-conscious than I was. Meaning, they'd stop by the classroom during lunch on the day of the test to see if the teacher had graded it yet.</p>
<p>The effect of this was half the class usually knew what I got before I did.</p>
<p>But yeah, fewer people seem to care about what I get on tests now -- not sure why, I guess my classmates are kinda just used to having me around now. When they do ask, I just tell them -- it's no secret. Especially when I get bad grades, then I seize the opportunity and constantly bring them up in conversation.</p>
<p>demeter-your post = my life. saying, "I failed" in my chem course is par for the course, while saying "I bombed" in latin would just annoy people in my class who really did a 10.</p>
<p>I say, "I did okay," nod vaguely, and change the subject. The issue's a touchy one and I avoid it whenever possible.</p>
<p>Besides, the people who generally ask me what I got are the ones who want to engage in a "whose academic genitalia is longer?" contest that I am wholly uninterested in competing it... :)</p>
<p>if i got a good grade, i'll just say it. if i got a bad one, i just say "i did badly", and unless your friends are super nosy, they stop asking. if they do, just say "i did bad" a couple more times and they back off.</p>
<p>I tell people my grade regardless of how it is. I normally do well, but rarely perfect, so I have no problem telling people "I got an A/B+." If I do poorly, I have one of two reactions. Either I laugh because I really didn't know what I was doing and happy I got above a 0, or I say the grade is BS and complain for a few minutes before talking to the teacher about my grade. I normally ask people how they did if my grade is bad and I thought I should have done well on the test. If lots of people have grades around mine, it eases the pain. If I was the only person who didn't get an A, I talk to the teacher and figure out where I went wrong.</p>
<p>Tell them if they'll tell you. Some people I'm very open with, because I know that they will tell me, and others I don't tell, b/c they never reveal their scores. They probably eventually hear about mine through the grapevine, as I do theirs though....</p>
<p>I was so proud when I failed a calc quiz for the first time ever that I announced it to the whole class. I usually will tell me people my grades only if they ask, but it's kind of funny when I get higher grades and I do barely any work. In AP Lang I wrote a 5 page research term paper in 3 hours (notecards, rough draft, and final draft were all turned in) whereas people spent multiple nights and long hours. I got a 98, second highest grade in the class after writing a paper on phone tapping right out of my rear end.</p>
