[crankybait]

i got my report card today. did decent, but i got a 91 on math. i had a 99on language arts, so i think i may tell her the good news first. any advice on how to break this out?

[lizardsrule]

What the heck is this. You make a post about being mature, and now your asking us how to tell your MOM about your report card. Give me a break.

Zards got you there BUDDY!

[WTL]

Break a 91 to your Ma? I would be celebrating.....

[Rebbasser]

Shoot, Cranky, when I was in school back in the dark ages a 91 was an A. I'd take that in a heartbeat.

[PowerBass]

Id take 80 or above any day! If your mom flips cause you got a 91, theres a major problem

[Fishie]

Yeah for no homework but math that sucks......lol. I don't care what you tell your mommy...lol It's your future anyway...

[Fishie]

Just tell her your stupid and then she will understand..lol

[Fishie]

Maybe you'd have gotten 100 on language arts if you capitalized letters when appropriate?

My son came home with a 83 in Spanish. Just before I went balistic he say's. Dad I always handle my grads just like you always handle things, Dont worry I will bring it up. He had a 97 in English Lit and a couple of more 90+ on some crip couses to go with it so what could I say. Try it , It might work. Fish2win

1. maturity has nothing to do with breaking grades
2. i really need to know. my parents are crazy about school
3. the typical asian sterotype is right... asian/indian parents are crazy

oh and marty, this is the internet. i never capitalize anything on the computer, im so used to microsoft word automatically doing it

Cranky! If you're serious about bringing your math up to your language arts level of 99%. Then be honest with your parents, let them know you didn't put your entire effort into your home work. And let them see it on your next report. I'm sure they are forgiving parents and will have mercey on you.... Dats whut we did do wiff are chillen when thay wuld breng grades less than 95%in eny of there subjects. now, we wuz good understanding parents, but we expected alot frum are chillen, now thay all have masturs degres in there fields of studyes..... And you seem like an intelligent kid that really wants to please your parents. Trust me, they won't expect more from you than what you are able to give. Good luck

umm never had this problem.. never studied ever-i have a gift- made national honor socity-whoopie doo!!- three years straight. in 2 differant schools at the same time. graduated from both in 92. gcs june 28 ccs june 29-thank god they were on differant days- geek?? nope jock, played football at ccs and baseball at gcs.

2 years of minor studying at SU playing collage football. ended up in a cast to my hip for 10 months. spent this time switching to UVT and learning to walk again.6 years later i had not 1 but 2 master's degrees.

Lmao @@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Zook

[PowerBass]

Zook, what did you get your master's for?

[crankybait]

OMG! i just realized that the second was my moms birthday! my whole family forgot... omg... i cant tell her like this. and it wasnt my homework. i do all my homework, thats the easy part. but i keep making careless mistakes on tests

[PowerBass]

Dude a 91 is a prefect grade, If she flips, just apologize, tell her you can still get in colleges with those grades.

Honestly a 91 for me is outstanding. I am not a staright A student, A 72 or above is fine for me.

[Fishie]

Yeah well at my school homework is only 10 percent of your grade and tests are over chapters... Really don't have any quizes...its college prep. Get used to it... ..

[crankybait]

eh it aint a perfect grade for what im going to have to be. i wanted to be a lawyer, but my mom is making me be a doctor or engineer, and those are crazy hard feilds. and fishie, over here we have a point system. points earned over points you couldve earned. tests are 100 points, each homework is 2 points, and quizzes are 60

[bassintom]

stinkybait...you're in america.you can be whatever you want to be..your mom is making you be a doctor???.that's nuts.....glad i didn't have to put up with that kind of thinking when i was a kid.

[crankybait]

to late for any of that. my mom already applied me to both highschools for doctoring and engineering. even changed my essay cuz it was geared towards being a layer. you all know me, im the biggest... um, arguementer i guess. id make a perfect lawyer. i really dont want to e a doctor, so ill suck at my job...

[striker23]

anything above a 80 is fine for me.
