Yeah...9!!!well i have to memorize and take a test on 200 page books....

 

In my mean Mom voice Iker, you’re grounded! Now go to your room and study!

In my nice Flash voice It will be okay; you’ll pull that grade up. We know you can do it your a smart kid! We’ll be here waiting to congratulate you on that great grade your going to get!

 

Thank goodness I never had to study to get the grades "I" wanted I could pull A's and B's no problem without any work Mom, however, wanted better

My Junior year in Advanced Mathematics I did 2 homework assignments ALL YEAR. Blew the teacher's mind when they were both in the same week He even quit calling my name every day when he was collecting them Still had a B when I finished

But it was harder work getting my grades back up when I slacked off than it EVER was to keep them there from the start. Good Luck!!

For someone that spends so much time reading internet forums, how the heck do you fail READING?? I didn't even know they had Honors Reading classes. In fact, I don't recall Reading classes in high school at all.

 

We can tell...............

 

Thats cuss they learned it tu us in kinnygarten. They need four extra years to get their crap together! BTW I had 1.67GPA in HS. Made (making) a 3.8 in college (and in honors classes).

Kind nice when the teacher treat you like a human being. My 4 grade teacher told me I would never graduate. She was almost right.

I gradimatated HS with a 67 (out of 100% - 65% was passing) I graduated College with 3.88! My Mom still thinks I cheated, all I did was actually apply myself, so Iker get in there and hit the books. You will be happier in the end.

Ya, 9 periods a day is alot. I've only got 7. I'm in 2 honers classes and have all b's. Just gotta study, thats it. Its not worth it to not study, you will be in school for 12 years maybe 16 or more. They say today a college education is worth $$1 million, It may not be what you wanna do now but in 10 years down the road and your makin 2x as much as an engineer it will be worth it.

Easy now. You're forgetting I'm a genius.

I never made less than a B in anything (mostly A's in fact). Aside from taking all AP English classes, I took AP Physics (my absolute favorite class in high school), AP Biology (I & II)....basically every AP class that my school offered. Then there were the math classes:

9th Grade - Algebra
10th Grade - Algebra II and Geometry
11th Grade - Elementary Analysis / Trigonometry and Computer Math
12th Grade - AP Calculus

Of course, I've forgotten much of the Calculus because I rarely use it.

Basically, I was just a natural born genius.

Of course, then I got to college where I actually had to TEACH myself how to study. Never had to do that studying stuff in high school. Still managed to walk out of A&M with a 3.7 GPA though.

I know, I know....

 

I never studied once until I got up here. I made a's and b's all through middle and highschool and even earned an academic letter jacket my junior year. Boy, am I regretting not learning how to study now. Well, time to get back to studying. Got a finance exam tomorrow.

 

Hoss, Im in Algebra Honors and in 8th grade genius all right

 

Oh yeah ?? well I never cracked a book either. After lookin at my report card ... it ain't hard to believe !!

I didn't understood why I needed to know how long a shadow of a 50 foot tall tree was .... until I learned how to machine gears in the Navy some 10 years later. Whole lotta algebra and trig in that job.
Sure would've been easier if I had paid attention in school. Keep at it Iker.

That's good. Maybe by the time you can go to restroom without asking for permission you'll have taken a little bit of the more advanced stuff.

I will say this....I pretty well breezed through Calculus in high school, but when I got down to A&M and had to take my first course of Engineering Calculus....HOLY MOLY.

 

Everyone walks out of A&M with a 3.7 don't they???
