Author Topic: Mom revoking everything for having 3 B's on my report card  (Read 5754 times)

My school didn't even have D's.
It was
90-100=A
80-89=B
70-79=C
≤69=F
Same here. And to everyone saying C is average, I disagree. It could be average in some places, but the way that grades are scaled varies widely from place to place. I'd say B is average, if anything.

My school didnt even have A's
We give points instead of letters, wich actually makes sense

Youre like grading meat lmao
"Hmmm timmy is some Grade A meat"

Is it true that some of the american schools have - and + grades? For example A+ or B-

Yeah.

Is it true that some of the american schools have - and + grades? For example A+ or B-
yea but it's really not a big difference
a+ is >97, a- is between 93 and 90; b+ is between 90 and 87 while b- is 80-83

Is it true that some of the american schools have - and + grades? For example A+ or B-
yes. for example, 87-89.9 is a B+, 84-86.9 is a B, 80-83.9 is a B-

the letter grade is determined by your overall grad percentage you foreign
for example, your overall grade may be out of 1000 points: homework is worth 300 points, tests worth 600, participation worth 100. if you didnt participate at all but aced the class otherwise, you would have a 90% in the class, and would have an A-.

If your mom played blockland and grounded you from her server for Bs then you could have put this in the drama section.

Your string of words wasn't coherent at all and had contradictions.  I couldn't understand what you were trying to say.

I don't know if I agree with her choosing to take away all your technology, but you ought to improve your grades. Getting a stuffty GPA in high school closes you out from a lot more life opportunities than you might expect.

So it sounds like your mom is out of calibration, this happens sometimes when range of inputs is too narrow.  What you have to do is give her some data that's way outside the normal range to reset her levels.  Try intentionally getting an F - or if you're looking for a faster solution, try getting suspended for a few days or getting arrested (for something lame like vandalism or trespassing, avoid arson or underage drinking as these can have more severe penalties).

this actually sounds fair. sounds like your mom has lost her notion as to what is truly a "bad grade"

B isn't bad at all, it's actually quite good
C is average
now if it had been an F, I'd be concerned

And to everyone saying C is average, I disagree. It could be average in some places, but the way that grades are scaled varies widely from place to place. I'd say B is average, if anything.
Yeah it may differ but C is literally average, to get Bs and above in the UK you need to take highers papers (like in Science, Math and English.)

what the forget how??? i thought it was perfectly understandable and espio got it but maybe you got confused when i mentioned the failing grade? that was a separate statement saying that below 60 is a failing grade and you could tell by the way that i worded it differently from the C grade part
sorry for not putting periods everywhere i haven't done that on here for probably years
