Haha no Seito didn't even get half of that. >> << >>

I failed my history and accounts test before.
*pets Seito*

Seito just needs to pass. Don't care about the letter grade

So you are passing? is that final exam?

No this was the first exam. Three more to go. So I have chance to pull it up. >> << >>

Does that exam include in the grading on whether you pass or not?

They've done it a lot in regular school. The teachers can't have a ALL failing class, it would damage their teaching method. So, they have to curve the grading scale a bit to at least have more than a couple people passing the class with an acceptable grade.

It's their way of covering their asses when they don't teach right. > w > And they make up tests as they see fit and don't cover the review material that is actually on the test or apply questions that almost have nothing to do with the material you've done.

Or at least, that's been my experience.
And they have the nerve to treat you like you are crap when it was their fault to begin with.

Arg that's so horrible they shouldn't be able to do that. Either people know their lessons or they don't. I'm glad I don't really have to deal with that part of life anymore. Yay being old. XD

Yes it's a fun system xD

Rubbish system. I am very strict with education.
I am kinda glad our school is dumb like that for not knowing how to cover their ass.
I had failed before, but I know I am weak and I strive to pass it. at least.

I've literally had teachers who passed me for absolutely no reason. I mean there was one time where we had a surprise test, and then at the end he told everyone to switch papers, we graded each other...then he told everyone to take a red pen and write a 100 on the top of whoever's paper we had.

I've had very strange teachers...haha. But i don't know we still managed to learn in that class somehow and get higher grades than the year ahead of us when we took the same test as them.

oh lol. That is fun!
XD
I never had those kind of strange teachers...

Lolll we never got that. We did have to trade papers and grade each others but me and my friends would erase our bad answers and put the right answers in with pencil. Other times the teacher didn't bother wanting the papers back, so we'd just mark what we wanted wrong on someones paper and left other wrong answers alone.

School wasn't very... optimistic in my school. Everything about it was a piece of crap. Teachers were out in the open with favoritism and everything, so yeah. But if I graded someone I really didn't like's papers, I would mark all the wrong answers that are wrong. XD

But it was funny, when my class graduated there was only a couple of top students that had higher GPAs and grades. And when the Juniors below us graduated there was a handful of nerds (the real nerds, that are ugly as whoa) and they had 4.6 GPAs. And I was like... omg. I only know this because I went to Erikas brothers graduation since she asked me to.

Highschool already is GPA system? *faints*

They've always had a GPA system and a "student ranking" which I thought was a bit rude. They make the grade reports all fancy with your student ranking, your number, your GPA, your grades, percentage, teachers names, course, and "All rights reserved" thing for the school. Or at least, mine did that.

We have ranking.
We do have booklet for report cards. XD
oh and our GPA is not those kind.
We add up all marks and divide by the subject we took.

How do you do that? xD

We only got a piece of paper with a blue background and the "symbol" of the government.

That is what we call cert?
We only get them in our important exams which is.
Preliminary, Middle high and High school. A level.
But every year, we have 2 main exams, mid year and final. those need to report to parents too. XD so we have a booklet.

We did it on a 100 point system but since i wanted to know what my gpa was we figured out how to calculate it...apparently i graduated high school with a 2.8. whoops. I still got accepted into the college i applied to though, i guess it was just mostly because of the high school i graduated from :/

The teachers were either good teachers or bad teachers we didn't have anything in the middle. they all knew their subjects really well, but some of them just couldn't teach >.> but yea...I have so many high school and junior high school stories to tell, haha, it makes me feel nostalgic just thinking about it...i miss my high school friends ):

we got report cards every couple of months ^^ ...i think i "forgot" to give them to my parents a couple times, haha

Every mid year, there is this parents and teacher day.
Parents HAVE to come and collect the report booklet. while have the opportunity to speak to teacher.

we had parent teacher conferences, but after the first year my mom just didn't want to go. she didn't want to fo up and down the ten floors of my school, haha ^^;;

ten floors?! What is your school?

It was just a high school :) Where I live it was among the top three specialized high schools, I never really understood all the hype though :shrug:

Just how HIGH is your school compound? O__O

ten floors, and i think there was a basement :D and there might have been an eleventh floor or those stairs that were gated might have just led to the roof :D
