Homework yay or nay

It's like the mentality we had at our school. I was really really ill during the last 2 years of school and managed to come out with 2 A's and 8 B'S, which after missing about 45% of my lessons I thought was f***ing well done, but no because I didn't get enough A's I was a failure Tbh I did bloody well to get those grades and IMO saying anything other than an A is a failure is completely wrong. A pass in the UK is anything from a A - D grade and you need 5 A - C grades to get into college, a lot of kids never achieve that.

Some times as far as schooling is concerned a little perspective of what actually happens and the grades that are actually attainable needs to be said. Up until recently as well I though most uni students came out with a 1st, quite clearly they don't!

When I did my GCSEs my results were completely average, except for a couple of Bs and an A, when people go on about a B being a bad thing it winds me up and it's one of those things that makes you feel a bit s***ty, get me?

Indeed.

With my APWH class last year, I would sometimes half-ass the outline, because the will just leaves you mid year, and I would get a 10/10 on it.... BUT somehow I always filed the weekly quiz for it.

I had a B all year anyway, but the above just makes no sense to me.

Now I will be perfectly honest, I have a learning disability. I cannot take tests; that's always been my weakest point, tests and quizzes. I'm way better than I was in elementary school, however occasionally I will learn all the info and as soon as I'm looking at the test in front of me, my mind goes blank and I freeze.

So I think that's why my test/quizzes were so bad but I did well on classwork/homework.
