Hmm. We were supposed to get report cards last Thursday, but never did. Not sure I'd feel comfortable sharing my grades here, but we shall see. :)

First marking period ends today, current averages for 1st MP as of today:

English 3: 99% A
Spanish 2: 100% A
Math HSPA 3: 93% A
Chemistry: 93% A
US History 2: 89% B
Health 3: 92% A
Special Ed. Study Skills: 97% A


Figures, I was just 1% shy of getting straight A's.  :hmm:

I think it's time I move to higher levels for some of the classes I'm getting really high grades in.

I notice you're in an HSPA prep math class... good luck on them in March! I barely passed the Language Arts section... 4 points lower and I would have been in a remedial course my Senior year... I got an above average in Math with 261... you need 200 to pass, anything above 250 is above average...

For all who don't know what the HSPA is, it's the High School Proficiency Assessment, the NJ graduation requirement test taken as a Junior to see if you're able to pass to graduate. If you fail one or both parts, you're required to take a remedial course and try again in October of your Senior Year. If you fail again, you take it in March. IF you fail again, you won't get a high school diploma and won't graduate. Unless your IEP specifically says you're not required to take it, then you have to. You'll get a certificate of attendance of High School, but you won't get a diploma because you failed. I think that's rather harsh, but still...

I believe I got slightly below 200 on the GEPA (8th grade assessment class) two years ago, which was why I was placed in the HSPA prep classes. My English class is also an HSPA, just forgot to note that. Hopefully I pass it so I don't have to worry about retaking it or taking special courses.

It's amazing how people care so much about grades. I'm currently failing 2 classes, but that doesn't mean I'm an idiot. I have an above average IQ for my age.

My IQ, when it was last tested in 8th grade, was 143. I don't think your IQ changes drastically, but it has been 6 years

Same here. I am very intelligent in atmospheric science, astronomy and history. I'm very good in spelling and have great geography skills. Why woulld I need to have an A in math if I am good in those subjects, that I am interested in for life? :rolleyes:

I would much rather be someone who can do math without the use of a calculator. The problem with the country today is that most Americans require a calculator to do the basic and simplest of math, and that bothers me a lot.

Sorry Vic, but Math is pretty much the most important subject that you use every single day in life.
