my gym teacher is an starfish

[Cappytaino]

So my gym teacher gives us an assessment from 0-10 every day based on effort or some stuff. Every day I bust my ass for a 6. A damn 6. Out of 10. And he has no rubric to show what the points mean. To top off the stuff cake with turd colored frosting, gym counts towards my gpa. My gpa went from a 3.29 to a 2.9 when I go5 this teacher. And I bust my ass every day in his class. Now my college options are at stake.

what middle school has a 1-4 grading scale?

high school and GPA is a number average of your grades, 4 being all A's and 3 being B-A range

[Planr]

what grade are you in

[Cappytaino]

what grade are you in

sophomore

Gpa seems to confuse you guys, it's a number that represents the average of all your letter grades

[Night Fox]

no college will care what your grades were in gym class

GPA. GPA is expressed that way. no matter where you go or how old you are

coming from the guy who didn't know what a delay was :)
no but generally below collage it's 0 to 100, at least in america

You've gotta suck up or ship out, man.

Either the teacher doesn't like you, or there's something you're doing wrong that hasn't been noticed yet.

Have you tried asking him (tactfully) what strategies you can use to raise your score?

my gym grade is a flat 60. It's killing my cumulative average

yeah and he said "try harder" when I bust my ass every class until I can't breathe at all for like an hour after

Does he do it to other students?

contrary to popular belief, I am not actually seventhsandwich
I live in america and yeah that's how grades are shown, for individual classes. GPA is always 0-4 (or 1-4? idk if it can go below 1)

God damn it. Nothing can be done here.

He's one of those gym teachers that thinks that giving you a lower grade without completely failing you will make you strive to be better and that it will help "build character."

Not much you can do here other than act like you've been "building character" around him.

(Or maybe it's some psychological tactic and he's trying to convince students that you shouldn't have to go all out and bust your ass just because you're not perfect. Maybe.)

In grade school I had a gym teacher that just sat on their ass all day.

They were teaching you that no matter what efforts you make now, your physique will suck because of your complacency in the future.
