Have you ever been sooooo close the next grade up/down? In English I had a 80.4% and in Spanish a 80.0%.
 But I've had an 88% before and it really upset me for a while. My parents won't be happy, but I will accept as many freaking _-'s as I can if it means my grade doesn't go down. |

YES! Of course.
 I have a 82% in Algebra.. I'll get a 4.00 for the class then becuase it's honors. I HATE PLUSSES, THOUGH! I got 89% in Social Studies and my teacher wouldn't give me a break.

Yeah, it's happened to me, but a few years ago. These few years I've been getting high enough marks not to worry about getting over the grade. But usually, if you're getting 85.0-85.4%, teachers will bump you up to an 86% (which is an A here).

It would be counted as a 3.0 at my school for honors classes.... Only AP and IB classes are weighed higher. So If I get a B in an AP class (which I did), I get a 4.0, but for English honors (which I have a B too) I get 3.0... Darn. Then I guess if my grades go to your school, I would probably get higher than a 4.0 GPA

^ Well, since I go to middle school.. Yes. We only have honors and regular classes. The scale for honors is like..
A= 5.0 B= 4.0 C= 3.0 D= 2.0 |

I hate when that happens. I always get grades like 89, 79 or anything ending with a 9. One point.
 Just one point makes the whole thing look so much better.

^ Wait, so you guys have up to 2 decimal places for your final marks?! That's crazy. Our school always round to the nearest whole number.

My dad used to want me to always get A's or A+'s but now I'm getting older and he realizes its getting harder(I'm in college now) so he's not fliping out as much. Like one of my classes I got an A- on one of my papers, but that feeling, Kaycee that you're talking about omg I'm happy if i do get a __- if i'm on the verge of getting a lower grade.

When it comes to math it's always like that. I hate math and I'm not good at it at all. Like last quarter I came out of the class with an 80.2%. I was like, whew!

Mine is always like that.
My geometry honors grade was a 79.79%, and I was all like...grr. xD She didn't round. My history grade last year was a 89.89%, and since I got all political, he didn't round it up. |
