Do you freak out about Grades?

Archives
#1

I always

freak out about my grades. :unamused: :wink:

#2

Who doesn’t? I used to dread what my final History grade would be, since I used to be so bad

at it. :stuck_out_tongue:

Politics suck
 (snigger)

#3

Hmm, well, it kind of depends on what’s being graded. If it’s for an exam that

doesn’t actually effect anything, and which has the sole purpose of just finding out what your strong and weak

points are, then that’s okay. But when it comes to official things, like the final grades of my GCSEs, then it

would be safe to say that I will worry, as most people do. :laughing:

#4

Yup,same here ;-p .Which is exatly

the reason my parents won’t let me play team sports.(They want me to focus on my grades.) :wink:

#5

Well, I am a good student. But finals are coming up, and the end of first

semester is comming up for me. I am starting to get a little nervous.

#6

offtopic: I play sports i play soccer!
OT: i alway freakout about

grades.

#7

Speaking of which, how are everyone’s grades right now? (I am so wierd.)

#8

[b]The

Star Swordsman[/b] - My grades are going pretty good actually – straight A’s and B’s (and the

occasional ‘C’ in Math). Thanks for asking. (snigger) :wink:

And no – you’re not weird at all! I’m the

weird one. :slight_smile:

#9

Well, I am just an A, B

student. I am not alowed to get C’s. If I do, Imy activities shall be cut.

#10

The Star Swordsman - Wow –

that must be rather difficult. Have you ever “accidentally” gotten a ‘C’? And what activities are cut

from your schedule if that happens, if I may ask?

#11

Well, all of my performing art activities really.

#12

I have 4 weighted classes which helps alot with the gpa.
speaking of school

and grades, next year, i think ill choose Computer Graphics as my elective, and maybe Drawing & Painting

too.

#13

I only bother about grades if I start going down. Otherwise, I’m pretty much saving my stress

for college.
I rarely get homework in my classes but when I do it counts for a lot. All except for my Math

class. I get homework every day in there, and the psycho nuts called my house for forgetting one homework and

made it sound as if I was drastically failing when it was one homework. =P

We

don’t have letter grades in our schools, only when it’s the first marking period now. I think I’d prefer

letter grades because lots of kids have been failing from the start but their report card made it so they could

convince to their parents it was a 70 average. Not that I like to lie or anything it’s just my mom overreacts

when it comes to grades. =P

#14

I just got my interim report

(sort of like a report card, I guess) but they always annoy me because if my target grade is A*, and I get an A,

I get an unhappy face. Even in things like physics, which is amazingly hard just to get an A in, and when I did,

I was still ‘below my target grade’. :unamused:

#15

I’m doing pretty well right now as far as

grades go, but we are always told that grades don’t matter in the animation business, so it’s a bit of a catch

22 - “YAY I GOT AN A
 but it doesn’t mean anything!”

#16

If it’s one of those

required but easy GE classes, then I never sweat it. But in my psychology courses I freak out, specially when it

comes to the midterm, thesis paper, and final. My professor is kinda tough and strict (to put it kindly), so

anything that’s handed in to him is a BIG deal to everyone.

#17

Grades are a big deal to me and I deal with a lot of stress. My parents never tell me

their expectations but I don’t want to let them down. Sometimes I realize that it isn’t even hard for me to get

A’s in a lot of my classes
 but I stress about them anyways. I think I have OCD seriously


#18

Although not one to talk about school, hate the thing, grades are a grave

matter.

To me, I particuarly hate them.
When you think about it, getting an F is just a stab at your

self-esteam. In some ways LABELING you a failure.
That’s what grades are a Label.

One time I recall, I

did a well written piece of work that went a bit over the 2-page RECOMMENDED limit and got a lower grade than I

should have.

Personally, Grades don’t affect me. I should have to have a letter tell me how good I am at

something.

#19

Since a semester for me is ending,

how worried are you guys about your grades when you hear finals are coming up?

#20

I used to really freak out about them when I was younger but now I dont worry about them so

much. I still get a little nervous about them though. Especially around finals time. But I did good last

semester, a 4.0! Now I get to start all over again tomorrow with the new semester.
