I'm at a 95 in my English B class
...as a freshman.
The hardest thing I've had to do yet for English is write a 600 word essay which narrates an event that sparked a belief in me.

I had to write something 1.5x longer in Honors Biology, on how pollution affects marine life, and I was docked 13 points out of 78 possible for not citing my sources properly and because I didn't elaborate on a minor detail that would not matter what-so-loving-ever. She wanted to know how pollution affected baby sea turtles, when the rest of the essay was clearly about the larger-scale effects.

I'm at an A in all of my classes, except for honors biology, which I have a high B in.

I got an 89.3 in English


My parents are mad at me.

You got 1 point away from an A- and your parents are mad?

Their standards must be higher than a drug addict after a recent purchase.

The title and the actual OP are opposites.

I agree, English in 9th grade IS a joke.  It's so stupidly easy.

Also:

Their standards must be higher than a drug addict after a recent purchase.

That made NO sense.

Time you stand up for yourself and tel the teacher and your parents what's going on.

That made NO sense.

A drug addict

Who just purchased drugs

He's gonna be high

A drug addict

Who just purchased drugs

He's gonna be high

You don't get high from buying drugs, you get high from abusing them.

You don't get high from buying drugs, you get high from abusing them.

>Implying I don't know this

writing an essay is usually a 20-30 minute job if you have to rush it. honestly, considering people are usually given class time/ walked through the entire process there's no reason not to turn it in other than it being your own fault.

English is like... my major

English teacher gave me a 6/10 because I didn't know something in a hearing exam and I answered:
(It's happening inside a train car)
Q: Why did the think the girls were strange?

A: Because obviously the girls were Russian spies. They had an odd accent he noticed, and their suitcase had an odd glow coming from it. Him, being an American undercover Marshall, had a geigercounter in his cellphone that measured that there was an unusually high radlevel in the suitcase. When the girls went to the toilet, he checked their suitcase and found nothing less then a 5 megaton nuclear warhead, with a detonation device attached. He thought quickly as he called a NEST team. He found that the best he could do now was try and delay the detonator's timer until the NEST team arrived. When the girls came back in his seat area, facing him, he acted as if he hadn't noticed anything. About 7 minutes later he got a text, he read it as if it were to be a casual text from his wife, but actually it was a text saying the NEST team's ETA was 1 minute now.
1 minute later, a helicopter was flying along the train. Moments later, 3 NEST-team members hopped onto the roof of the train, and they started cutting the roof open with a plasma torch. The helicopter, a Little Bird, flew next to the train now. The 2 girls, realising they were compromised, took their guns and commanded everyone to lay flat on the ground. The Little Bird's pilot saw his chance, only the girls were standing up, and turned the helicopter sideways so it's front faced the side of the train. He was now flying sideways. He took one last look to make sure everyone was lying on the ground, and then pressed the gunning buttons. 2 Vulcan Miniguns started to blast hell into the middle area of the traincar, totally wrecking it. 1 of the 2 girls didn't dive in time, and got shredded up. The 2nd was now also laying on the ground. The NEST members were now in the train, 1 car behind the girl. The girl opened the suitcase and took out an AR-15, and started firing at the nest team through the traincar's connection doors. The nest team seeked cover behind a row of seats, and radioed the helicopter pilot for cover. The helicopter pilot told them to get back, and he reopened fire on the car the girl was in. She got hit twice in her left arm. The NEST team saw their chance, and broke though to the car she was in. They ended up in a small firefight, but the girl died quickly because of the handgun fire from the NEST-team. They immediately rush to the suitcase, telling the Marshall to get up, and tell them all he knew. he said he managed to delay the explosive, but there were less then 7 minutes to detonation left now. The NEST team started defusing the bomb, and in the nick of time, they managed to do so. They hopped back in the helicopter from the gaping hole in the side of the train caused by the minigun fire, and gave the Marshall a firm salute.

The correct answer was: Because they got off in a town that had nothing worth seeing

She was probably talking about a thing that happened earlier in the book.
