A couple of weeks after school started, I was sitting in my room playing DayZ when my dad comes in after work all pissed off about how I haven't been studying, and how he's worried I'm going to "start off school in a hole that I can't dig myself out of", and then threatens me about grounding me. He says that I always do bad in math and that he knows I'm going to get stuff grades in Algebra 2 right off the bat. I check my grades online and see that I have an A+ on the assignment that we've done so far in the class, and I understand everything we're doing because it's all review. So I just forget about it and keep doing what I'm doing.
Two days later, we take a quiz in the class. I feel confident and not worried at all going into it because, like I said, I understood everything that we've been doing. Before I go on, however, you should know that I'm rather... Bad... At multiplication and division, so I use a calculator on almost every single operation that I do, even simple things like six times seven or such. Of course, when the teacher passes out the quizzes, he decides that we shouldn't be able to use a calculator because it's all "simple arithmetic" and "you should be embarrassed if you can't do it in your head". Well, after he says this I go into panic mode, and get stressed out because I know if I don't do well on this quiz then it's certain grounding for me. All through the quiz I literally cannot take my mind off of it. I feel like I did well, but in the back of my mind I know I completely bombed it.
The next week my dad asks me for my grades, so I jump online and print out the sheet, and yeah I failed the test getting nine out of twenty points and a 45%. I literally just sink and prepare myself for getting yelled at as usual. So yeah my dad throws his tantrum and stuff and he says I'm not ungrounded until I bring my grade up to a B.
So now, four weeks later, we've taken another quiz and a test. Of course, though, it's been almost two weeks since we took them but my teacher still hasn't put it in the grades. So now I'm stuck with this in the grades.
I have two A+'s in other classes and four B's. That is literally the only class I even have less than a B in. I've been grounded for like I said four weeks now and it's starting to piss me off.
I don't really do anything other than stuff on the computer and I don't want to so please don't be a richard in that sense because I don't really care what you have to say about what I like to do. All I want is peoples' opinion on whether or not I should be grounded.
Yep.
