Second grade

the second advisory, I started off very strong and ahead of the game. I was doing all my work and completing what I needed to receive a good grade. This was a result of me trying to keep up with my goals for the upcoming advisory too. I had left on with a B- last advisory and now that has dropped significantly. I am completely disappointed with my grade because these are not the grades I receive on a regular basis in school. My current grade in your class is a D+ due to missing and low grades on…

Earning a grade that was not an A or B for the first time throughout my school years. During my first semester of junior year, my grades were flipped upside down. I was earning lower grades than usual, due to my horrible work habits at that time. Yet, that wasn’t the problem. The beginning of the school year, I was having a lot of personal issues going on and didn’t know how to handle it myself. Soon, I became frustrated and became even more depressed that I eventually gave up the fight. It was…

Letter grades existed long before we are born. According to Mark W. Durm, “1883—At Harvard there is a reference to a student making a B. This apparently was the first use of a letter for a grade that can be found” (1). There are many great leaders attended schools and received letter grades; even our grand parents might have received letter grades in their life. Many people attended school and grew up with grades and every one of us is very familiar with grades. We fought for good grades to get…

as he does, maybe even harder and he always ends up with the best overall grade in the class. The last day of every year in elementary school, the students were handed their yearly report cards. My grades did not interest me at all as a 2nd grader. What mattered to me most was not my grades, but my reading level. Every year all of the students take a reading test a week before school ends. The test determined the reading grade level for each student. As I was handed the pasty white envelope…

Should one test determine a child’s future? Many children who pass all of the courses and have a average or above average GPA fail their grade. How could this happen? If a child spends 3-4 hours on homework a day, study whenever needed and completes all assignments with passing grades, be retained to their current grade based on a 100 question examination at the end of the year or semester? This has been something many parents are not concerned with, parent feel most of the time maybe the…

When I was in 2nd grade, I had the long term goal of graduating high school, and up to this day I would consider that one of my now short term goal is to graduate high school. Before I am able to graduate I want to set myself to do well in AP Calculus by getting an 90 or higher. My grades are really important to me. I have several teachers tell us that grades are not important and what really matters is what you really know. They might be right, but I feel that my grade reflects on what I know…

Having worked my brain into a frenzy going over every single possible grade I was at the point where I just wanted it to be over. With little optimism I walked up to the teacher’s desk with a look of shame only a dog who had just been screamed at could rival. Hoping that the news would be short and sweet my teacher opened…

teacher to explain the topic more to me, I felt like I was speaking to Cheshire Cat, and that didn’t help. I would go back to my desk feeling even more confused than before. I hated writing. I only wrote on a need-to-write basis, and only because my grade depended on it. I was always given a boring topic I didn’t care for, never was I taught that there was a way to make that topic mine, a way to embrace it and incorporate it into my own experiences. It seemed…
