ColdplayingfromKansas Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I like algebra II but the teacher that I have makes up tests that apply concepts in ways we've never seen before, so it's always a shock and I feel like however much I study there's always something I don't know. And this is going to sound bitchy but I'm freaking out right now because. . . well I've never had this problem before. I've never actually had to study for a test, and I've never had so many bad test grades. It's unnerving. My school was actually K-8, then 9-12. :P :confused: I despise tests that do that. I understand--this is the first year I've had to study at all for anything also. Albeit, I always glance at my study guides a few minutes before the tests as a quick refresher, but I've actually had to cram for Chemistry tests several times this year. :P lol integrated middle schools :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalomania Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I want to take music theory next year but I don't think there'll be enough for a class. :sad: what sucks is that everyone knows everyone and everyone's business and if you lose friends it's so hard making new ones, well it is for me which is what i'm finding at the moment :disappointed: story of my life, it was the same thing in elementary school. you do one fucking embarrassing thing when you're 6 and people still don't let you forget it. :| although I suppose I'm lucky, I have a wonderful group of friends and we're all in the same classes (all of the honors class students are friends with each other for the most part simply because we're above most of the immaturity that happens with other classes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayingfromKansas Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 my school is also aroung 250 :awesome:[/color] *internet high five* We're poor because our governor doesn't know that you can't just suddenly cut money from education, so if a class doesn't have more than 11 people signed up the class doesn't happen. :| They reschedule you. D: That's horrible what sucks is that everyone knows everyone and everyone's business and if you lose friends it's so hard making new ones, well it is for me which is what i'm finding at the moment :disappointed: :hug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taameen**sparks** Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Don't worry, freshman year is a piece of cake. Sophomore year is the hardest because it's such a huge adjustment from the "pampered" easy-peasy freshman year to all of a sudden, actual difficult work. The information itself gets more difficult junior and senior year, but by then you're used to it. Enjoy freshman year while you can. :P Yeah it's pretty easy so far.....

Tests are supposed to evaluate you on things that you've learned, not see how fast you can figure out how to apply that knowledge. Save it for challenge problems pls. Aw yeah, chem's a bitch. :P It's weird, I went into this year thinking chem would be my hardest class, but I have the highest grade in it. I currently have a C in alg 2 and history (it's fucking killing me, I've never had lower than a B average in my life :|), although the history grade should go up because it's only low because of two quizzes, and they really don't count for much by the end of the marking period.

Exactly :nod: I could understand if it was an extra credit problem or something (our chem quizzes frequently have extra credit that we wouldn't know how to do unless we read ahead) but putting it on the actual test seems very unfair. Ugh, that's not good :uhoh: I've made straight A's throughout my school career, but there's been a couple of close calls (geometry last year, Algebra I seventh grade year) and I currently have a B in art :blank: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had an A in every single class until last marking period, where I had a B+ in algebra 2. I'm going to sound really spoiled by saying this but I feel like a complete failure because I'm not getting the same grades I used to. At the same time though I understand why I'm not getting A's; it's because the classes are difficult. My teachers rarely give extra credit too though, which is a real bitch.

Two of my friends really liked each other, but then the girl started dating a guy that was outside the group and now my guy friend hates her guts and refuses to acknowledge her at all. Luckily, the rest of us were able to bridge the gap, so we're all still really close. It's just really awkward. :blank: Same, everyone makes fun of me for my Muse and Sherlock obsessions, but you know what? That doesn't even bother me.

Of course, I get teased by my friends, but we're so mean to each other anyway that I just insult them back :P omg, we are such a messed up family :lol: We're going to Florida :dance: 27 hour bus ride.

I don't think you sound spoiled--you're just not used to getting 'low' grades and it's perfectly understandable that you'd feel upset. Plus, it's better that you go through this now rather than get hit with it in college where it really counts. :hug: :thinking: Usually there's extra credit on chem, world history, and English II honors tests, but there's never any on my art or Spanish I tests, and we've had one extra credit opportunity all year in Alg II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
