ya HS was easy. I wish I would have learned how to work though, I am in university now and although I am doing alright, could be doing better if I actually knew how to study.
got mid 80's in high school, taking theacademic level of courses (in canada there are four levels lowest to highest are: Work Place, Applied, Academic, Enriched) - put in low amount of effort getting high 80's in college. putting in a moderate amount of effort now
kinda wished i would've taken calculas, got a calculas C lass next year.
I'm English, and most people here don't go to 'high school' but I've always taken academics very seriously, probably more seriously than anything else in my life, so yeah, I did do really well.
I'm in my first year and so far i have a 3.4 gpa. I get A's in almost all my classes including geometry and bio but i am just passing italian. the first half of the year i finished with a D and right now i just have a C so thats pulling my gpa down a bit.
I'm in year 11 now and so far I've doing fine, aced few tests and assignments, though back in the junior year I did bad and now I want to redeem myself and push hard. Well did you do good back in high school, or are you doing good? Did you regret anything?

I do okay I have around 4.0-4.1 since this semester gpa
Every year I'd start out wanting to do well. Maybe it was the new pads of paper and the pens, who knows? Needless to say, half way through the year I'd be pulling a 85% average, I'd slip up and slack off...finishing the year maybe with a 75% average if I'm lucky. That was from grade 11 to grade 12 though. I pretty much wasted grade 9 & 10 on silly things that I wish I never did :D
I've done really well in my last two years. Freshman and Sophmore year weren't very good, I was pretty awkward and never did much work back then, but I've really turned it around lately. If AP tests go well this year, I can graduate with course credit for almost every class I'd normally take first semester at the college I'm heading to.
Mmm i did pretty average to be honest. 5th form was a breeze, I didn't do any work but finished with high marks. I tried the same in 6th form and got owned, nearly failed. Picked myself up in 7th form for half the year and got good grades, then slacked off again for the second half and got average grades. In the end it still got me into law though so I wouldn't change anything loooooool.
For those unfamiliar with NZ schools years, form numbers were the old system which they still had till I was in 5th form/year 11. I still kept calling them that though.
5th form = year 11
6th form = year 12
7th form = year 13
Similar to Australian systems but our final year is year 13 instead of 12. Also no clue where that person got australian schools are years 7-10........
I just didn't try in high school. I was too busy partying to give a crap about studies. Looking back now, it probably wasn't a great idea, but I had fun.
I'm in 11th grade (in the US HS is from 9th to 12th grade). I do really well in school actually, I take all honors and AP's and get all A's. I'm currently 2nd in my class. Kinda sucks though cuz I don't get as much time to hang out/play video games.
High school is really a giant waste of time.... I am not joking. I knew kids who got home schooled and literally taught themselves the most important subjects... took a few years off to travel... forgot a lot of stuff.... took sat and went to uni where they relearned everything they forgot. What the hell is high school for anyway? When you go to uni you have to learn to write papers in a diff style, managing time is far more important since profs will flat out tell you that you shouldn't focus on specific classes and focus on others for the sake of gpa/major requirements. High school exists because most kids are not old enough to manage time and live on their own... by the time you are 15 you already have the intellectual ability to take college level courses. I really love the idea of eliminating the last two years of high school and instead sending young adults to a community college for the last two years to get an AA like in Vermont and a few other states.
I did surprisingly well in HS despite overall slacking the heck off. I was a bit of a loner, though still connected enough with key members of the student body crucial to survival (nerdy kids for easy HW copying, popular kids for evading gossip). All in all, I graduated in the top 10%, which was quite the achievement for someone who didn't do a single HW assignment outside the heavy-hitter projects.
If there is one thing I regret, it's not growing the pair to ask one or two girls out.
Until my senior year, I did very well. Then for whatever reason I started completely slacking off and ditching frequently. I got it together before the year was over though.
Graduating this year. I will be in the upper Top Ten of my class. 4.0 GPA, as many AP classes as I could carry, loved by teachers. And thanks to that, I'm going to study at Northwestern University next year.
[QUOTE="jeremiah06"]1.3 GPA at graduation... Though I hold a 4.0 in college now...supergoat777
Yeah but the college you go to is probably not very hard so...
What does it matter if a class is hard as long as you learn? I found in the hard classes i never learned anything, i was always too busy doing homework to actually learn it.

This :lol: Which showed how awful the system was, i learned more from TV/internet/books anyway
I guess I'll never go to an American high school, HS in Australia is actually pretty cool, I mean the teachers can actually teach, most of them anyway. In my school we got an awesome art teacher, funny music teacher, the sportsmaster look exactly like Commander Shepard, a friendly Lebanese teacher with bigger guns than supergoat :P, the head religion teacher also teaches science and a true blue teacher who used to come to this school. Very interesting.
Learning disability in Math so that was a major weak point. Tons of missing assignments, failing grades and just general apathy towards the subject. The lack of interest eventually moved to other subjects which I then failed so I did bad in school. Did well on my GED though.

IDK but the head of sport is called sportsmaster in my school, but we just call him sir, or Commander Shepard as a joke.
I pretty much done nothing in High School. I slept through a lot of my classes, played video games, and just didn't care. If I could I would go back and change all of that. I did graduate, though.
