My school's designed around not having grades for classes because it doesn't say how good you are at the specific parts of the subject (it used to be a nice hippy elementary/middle school until it got all crappy) but I do extremely good in school, except for when I don't turn in my assignments.

I also only got 2 minor cautions on my driving test, and I failed my last eye-test by 1.
Haha, I forgot about those kind of tests.

Let me think...

Eye exam: my eyesight is getting worse amd worse
Driver's Ed (sort of complicated, but before you turn 18 there's two levels and each level has a written and driving portion): 100% on written part, a lot lower in the driving part


Anyone get tested for rabies? :laugh:

I have never let my schooling interfere with my education. - Mark Twain
The school of hard knocks is an accelerated curriculum. - Menander of Athens (ancient Greek playwright)
I'm in university, therefore I chose "rutabega". I think many among the enlightened will not fault my logic on this matter.
I work, so I chose "rutabega" as well.

Yaay.

In high school, I was always in all Honors/AP classes and maintained mostly A's with a few B's in there (mostly in math). I graduated #27 in my class out of some 750!

In college, Im making more B's, but I'm still doing the A/B thing (well, some of my B's are borderline above a C!). Though I actually got a 97 in English this quarter and a 94 in Astronomy, so I'm a very happy camper.

Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

I don't know what my vision is at this point, but I'm nearsighted enough to need glasses for driving. (Flying foxes, despite their classification as bats, generally have good vision.) Incidentally, it took me three tries to get my license, and then I passed by one point.
