Mine fluctuate, but are pretty much stable in the middle 80's to low 90's range. A big improvment over last year, where I failed most classes.

wow, straight A average and not even salutatorian? thats rough... must go to a pretty good highschool then. We're pretty average really. Mostly him and his friends were all trying to beat each other out in grades. I prefer to do it on Halo ;D Its actaully not that hard to get an over 100 average. Just take a bunch of college courses. At out school, you get a 10% grade wieght. So if you got a 100, the school puts a 110 in your average. As long as you pull around a 90 every quarter, your grades are quite high. It works out nice for me, Im taking all college stuff next year, ugh. |

They do it to encourage kids to take harder courses. Say somebody was pretty good in school, and took those courses, without the grade weight. Their grades suffer a bit, down to 87 or something like that. Meanwhile, a slightly less smarter kid take all normal courses, and get straight 95s. Kinda squats on the first kid, right? So thats why they do it, and the only reason I take those courses. |

yeah, thats true, guess our school didnt think of that yet...
our schools way of motovation is you can exempt from finals. if you get straight A's all four markiong periods in that calss, you dont have to take the final exam. which i was working for for a while, but then lost motovation and slipped into the 80's... oh well.

Yea, the motovation for me is gone after a miss an A by one or two points in first marking period, so theres no hope of getting exempt. Or missing a one of those special honor roles because the the advantage is also by one point.

I have about 4 or so classes that I might manage to be excempt from, so that'll be cool.  |
