I'm probably one of the most unmotivated students in my entire grade 12 cIass but, ironically, I understand everything better than anyone, and am one of the top tutors in the school (I've helped 30's students get 75+), it's just my lack of work ethic and on math, chem and physics I make those stupid mistakes that doing homework would eliminate, and even despite all this, I still sit pretty at a good average, altough this year I'm planning to work my ass off and get some good grades so I can get direct entry into University...
It's not that I don't care to learn, it's just the Saskatchewan school system is in the craphole right now, and it's really dumbed down so that we can pass (due to farmers kids being gone so much for harvest during the first few months, and then seeding towards then end of the year). It's just not challenging enough for me. For example, in Math C30, we're learning the four conics (Parabolas, Hyperbolas, Ellipses and Circles) and I've missed most of the classes where we don't review old material and learn new material (Parabolas [in depth, directrix and foci], Circles and Application of conics) and I'm still probably in the top five for understanding how it works. People are talking about failing this test horribly, meanwhile I'm nailing the assignment. (we have to do a hand-in assignment before every test for practice) and I find this easier than anything we took in grade 11.
