I had a C because I screwed off for ONE day. Online school is ruthless. Also, according to my Chamorro parents, I was deemed a failure by them since I always have A. And now my siblings make fun of me for being a dumb idiot when they have the same grades as me. It’s honestly not fair when you’re accelerated at a young age and then go back to being average. Everyone expects too much.

I got a 17% as a final grade in my honors English class, because I absolutely hated the teacher, and did whatever I could to make her life difficult (e.g. such as do an essay assignment completely in Portuguese, or plaster hundreds of pictures of Bill Nye's head all over her classroom just to piss her off.) And in my misguided brain I thought that getting a bad grade would reflect poorly on her, I turned everything in but made sure I got a horrible grade on it, so I got a 17% in the class, which was probably worse for me than it was for her.

I have E's in math, because it's really hard to pay attention. I guess I can say I get the math that we're learning, but I hate math with a passion. It does not help that my teacher doesn't understand half the questions I ask her, and the other half she simply doesn't answer. I'm really afraid of what my father will do when he gets sight of my grades.

Got Fs like it was candy because I didn't do my homework. In my country, we had a ten-point system, so F was equal to 2/10. Why I didn't do my homework? Because I loved to play video games and watch TV and had a strict regime of doing my homework in front of a TV or PC. My parents forbade me to do it that way, so I stopped altogether. I don't know, maybe that's an ADHD sort of reaction, but that's how it went.
One time I even got an F- (1/10), because the teacher got really mad that I tried to fake the fact that I actually did my homework. Later I learned to do my homework at recess.
Didn't matter though, cause I aced my exams and got to study in one of the elite universities in my country.

When I was 14 my parents switched my school and I had never taken up woodwork at my previous school. With no choice at the new school I was put into the 4th year woodworking class. That week was the 4th year woodwork test. I of course scored zero as I had no knowledge of woodwork. I also came bottom in French at my old school because could not pick the language up at all. One afternoon. I had to go back after classes finished because I had forgot my satchel. On the blackboard where the answers to that nights homework, even copying them down I only got 9 out of 10.

My History teacher grades everything out of four. So you can either get an A, a B, or a D. No in betweens. So even if the assignment had 5 questions or 10 questions, it was graded out of four. Which means I have my worst grade in that class. My overall is a B+ which isn't that bad, but some assignments, I got D's on because of the grading system.

My schools never did grades until I came to middle school. The lowest grade I ever got was in the dreaded Latin. I loved Latin mythology, but the teacher gave us complicated assignments and expected us to memorise the billion verb endings and declensions and conjugations and stuff, so I obviously hated that. Then he gave us a 6 page double sided quiz with only 45 minutes to complete and I got.... a D-.

Also, sorry to interrupt, but I just had a big shower thought; 'E' is not part of the grading scale.

Front 6th grade until I dropped out I purposely screwed myself over. Well, mostly on purpose. I've said before that my childhood was not the best, school was my only refuge but between my dyslexia, undiagnosed (found out this year) ADHD, and the sheer fact I saw school as my only time to myself, it made my drive not for grades but for time to read or write without having to be on alert.

How did I do this? I looked at the syllabus, figured out exactly what I needed to do to get the lowest passing grade possible, and then i basically ignored the class except to do exactly the bare minimum. I have a photo of me somewhere openly reading a book in class while it was in session. LOTR during Algebra.

I had an English teacher in HS who just gave up hounding me because I really didn't seem to care. Mid term comes and I had to write a 10 page original story with 10 pieces of original art work that was worth a lot of points for the class. I did it, handed it in, and went about my reading. I have never seen a teacher more furious in my life than when I came back the next week after she had graded our projects. Oh she was furious at me. I had to stay after class and she slammed my project on her desk and told me she had never seen someone who cared so little hand in what I had.

What did I write? A 10 page story titled 'What is Reality?', with 10 pages, fully covered and colored, that were like those ink blot test things. Yeah. She made me read it a few of her classes, two of which were honors English classes, where there was a Q&A afterwards. She flat out told me if I applied myself I would have been in Honors courses.

I dropped out of highschool a couple years later due to a transcript translation issue at an alternative school that would have kept me in it for 3 more years, and a lot of outside school reasons. When I was 24 I handed my transcript to a small town high school, found out three weeks later after they managed to straighten out what the alternative school had done to it that I had enough credits to graduate 2 times but I was missing 1/2 a science credit, 1 English 3 credit, and my state and federal government tests. Less than a month later I had my Hugh School equivalency, got a. Associate degree with almost all A's.

I'm not the type of person to want to go back and change things in my past because it would change where I'm at now and I love me and my life now. There are sometimes though that I want to book highschool me over the head though.

My freshman year of high school I had a 70 average (barely passing) in my regents 2 math class for nearly the full year. This was due to starting the year in the advanced class doing fine, got moved to the general class due to a discrepancy a month in, and moved back to the advanced class 2 months after that. But the advanced was (obviously) moving faster, and the teacher liked things written just so, so I spent the rest of the year struggling to relearn things his way while adding new things to the mix. I did pretty good on the state exam, and pulled my grade up to a high C/low B by the end of the year, but it was certainly not as good as it could have been.

My next worst was in college, working on my bachelors. Had a class on digital circuits, which I knew was going to be hard as I had zero electronics experience to build off of. It was made worse by a professor who dumped over 10 hours of lecture on us in one week (I filled a notebook taking detailed notes), and proceeded to give tests and assignments based on those 10 hours for the rest of the semester - no breaking things up in to learnable chunks. Had a test the week after the videos were made available and barely squeaked out a 65, which was the lowest passing grade. I knew I’d never pass if I depended on the prof, so got a tutor immediately. Thankfully one of my coworkers knew digital circuits insanely well, and had a great approach to helping me learn. He helped me get an A in the class, and I have since managed to forget at least 75% of what I learned.

Sophomore year of High School (grade 10), I had to take an art class that I can't remember the technical name of. It was basically arts and crafts though -- a lot of cutting of paper, gluing things together, and stamps. Not exactly high school material. So I took it upon myself to put my own twist on every last project: Making a box, stamps of angels for the holidays, flip-books of "poetry", things like that. Made a pyramid version of the Puzzle Box from Hellraiser, made the angels wearing street clothes from the early 00's (JNCO jeans, Tripp, things like that), and scrawled Linkin Park lyrics in the book, specifically Runaway's chorus off of Hybrid Theory. Teacher was NOT a fan of my "antics" and I failed the class in a brilliant swan dive. 100% Did Not Complete for the entire semester.

To sum it up, I bucked so hard at a teacher by doing the *exact projects just not HER way* that I was only counted as having shown up and did not even qualify for a letter grade in the class at all. Guess art isn't subjective, huh?
