Yeah see, its impossible to get 100 in anything here. Gotta read the last part of my message saying its harder to get higher marks.

You see, that's a grade you get just for showing up. Try my VB class. You get graded on showing up, programming, and testing. So far, I'm one of the best in the class (Thank you Tech Prep in high school!!!). My one friend, she is really struggling though. It doesn't help that our professor is a dipshit and doesn't teach things logically. That and the book we have doesn't really teach anything. I learned more out of the book I used as a Junior in high school than I am out of my nice, new college level VB book... It's too damn complicated for its own good. Oh well, my VB class isn't the one I'm worried about anyways...

And unless you are a complete fuck up, the wrose you'll do is like a B. Just wait till you go to college. See, in high school the teachers just pass you to gt you out of their hair. In college, professors don't really give a shit what happens to you. I think college professors get a sick pleasure out of failing students. :twisted:

How the hell do you get a C in band? Hell, I was in chior in Jr. High and no matter how crappy i sang, as long as I showed up I got a good grade. What did you do, forget your instrument?

I'm quite fond of the gpa system. I'd much rather say I have a 5.5 out of 4.0 gpa than say I have a 98.3 average in everything. A's look so much better than crude percentages.

In other words, you like to appear smarter than you are???

j/k

Percentages say more than "A"
