Are my grades good or bad?
Filed Under Latin American Literature
Would you consider me academically smart?
I’m in 8th grade (mid-term grades)…
Geometry/Algebra II: 99% (A)
Latin II: 83% (B/B-)
French II Honors: 96% (A)
Spanish II: 93% (A/A-)
English: 80% (B-)
American History: 94% (A)
Pre-Chemistry:89% (B+/A-)
It always seems like I’m the dumbest in my grade. It’s SO sad! Everyone expects me to fail courses because of my “poor” grades.
English this year is extremely hard! I was placed in Advanced and we’re doing our school’s 10th grade literature course and grammar is unbelievably challenging!
All-girls private school.
It’s terrible!! No boys, stupid uniforms, I always get made fun of for being dumb! Even all my friends make fun of me…
My dad makes fun of me too! He says I have no chance to make it into Penn with my current marks… which is where my parents went
So this is a serious question BTW.
I meet with my English teacher like twice a week now!
At most schools if I were in the Upper 10% I would have a spot in an Ivy.
At my school you need to be in the Upper 50%, which I am sadly not in. Class Rank-wise I’m probably in the bottom 30%
