I dunno. I don't remember what my reasoning was at the time.

Originally posted by squirrelly See I don't understand that. Why didn't you get good grades then? I felt like it was not challenging and boring, but I still had straight A's in all my AP classes (which were way better than regular).

Hell if I can remember. I made a lot of stupid decisions for stupid reasons, but whatever. Can't change it, nor would I want to. Shit happens and I learned from it all.

lol don't be fucking bitter at me just because I agree with everyone else who says that it's retarded not to graduate High School. It's HIGH SCHOOL. What could be so fucking bad about HIGH SCHOOL?

Think what you want of me - last time I checked, you've never met me, nor do you know me

I just never went to class, lol.

That's true - at least you learned from it. Good for you on getting a GED after though. Did you go to Uni too, or stop after GED?

Saying you don't care what people think is total bullshit. Between you and Jamie I could put together a shitty Lifetime miniseries. Second people come across in text about as well as they do in real life. Stupid is stupid is fucking stupid.

I'm not bitter either just calling your crap as I see it.

This seems like one of those "I'm better than you because..." threads.

The only thing I ever did was tests. I somehow graduated (and did WELL) without ever writing an essay or completing a major project, lol. I got the fucking math award my last year ffs, lol. And my mark in English was so high that my teacher said not to even worry about writing the final exam. <--- I had my driver's test the same day.

A thread like that wouldn't work for me... I'd need a book... maybe an anthology.

Graduated before 2000 = OLD FARTS!!

One of those threads would go to a bazillion pages, give or take a gazillion.

I haven't progressed as of this immediate point, but I am finally starting this fall. w00t can't wait.

haha I had a B in one of my math classes without EVER doing any HW. I only got a C in that class because 1 test I somewhat bombed on and it hit my grade a lot since I did no homework.

I hate classes that have homework. What kind of shit is that. It should be implied that if you don't do homework/study then you will fail the exam.

I agree.

It has been a long and arduous process to get in a position that allows me to, but fuck will it feel good that I have gotten there after so much that has gone on in my life. Feeling accomplished ftw.

The only homework should be papers and studying for quizzes and test. Giving homework after every class is just too much. Unless it's a math class.

You totally will too. Every time I pass another class with an A and I continue to be on the Deans list I'm like HELL FKN YEA DUDE! because I know I work 50 hours a week and go to school full time. So when I talk to ppl who are like "I work too much to go to school" or "I don't have time" it just irritates me.

Why? For a math class the students should study the examples and work sample problems on their own and come in for help if they get stuck. Fuck homework.

Not everyone is self-motivated enough to plan ahead for tests well in advance. They need the whip of homework cracking over their heads to get them to do anything in the meantime.

Well, homework that doesn't have to be turned in. That's how it worked in my last class. We had homework, but we never had to turn it in. As much as I hate homework, doing the teacher's problems really helped me for the tests. Aced every single one.

Most calculus classes have many different types of problems dealing with a certain topic, and textbooks cover about 5% of those problems. 80% of the other types of problems in that topic are in the homework, and those are usually the ones that are on the test. People who look over examples and work through sample problems are usually the ones who fail the tests. As much as I hate it, Math homework is absolutely necessary. I've taken 6 higher math classes (cal 1-3, DE, linear, and discrete) and every single time, the homework has been the dealbreaker for people who want good grades.
