Thoughts From An Average Teenager

Grades and the Report Card

So at the end of the year one of the most talked about things at the dinner table is report cards. Oh the dreaded piece of paper that comes in the mail or you receive from your teacher at the end of the year. On that paper determines whether you'll be grounded for the rest of the holidays. Really that paper holds a lot on its back. 

But besides the point. Do we really get asked about what we think about report cards. Well I sure as hell don't. Maybe you do. 

But anyways. I personally think everything about the report card if wrong. I don't even think we should get one. Maybe some people disagree. Well feel free to disagree, I welcome you to but these are my thoughts so sorry for being different to you. 
But always we get told 'it doesn't matter the grade you get' but that really changes when we actually get the piece of paper. Who cares if you get a B- instead of a solid A or B? Does it really change you as a person. I never thought so but who knows, maybe I'm wrong. 

As long as I'm passing I'm fine, (well once I failed and laughed, jesus did I get my ass whooped ;)

I have friends who cry if they get a A-. I'm sorry if you are one of those people, no judgement implied, but I'm happy if I get a solid C. Your end of year grades do not determine your end of year mark. 

So this is the last thing I'm going to say for today; there shouldn't be effort mark on the report card. It's bad enough that we get our intelligence determined by tests and letters but our effort as well. You could try as hard as you possibly could and our teacher wouldn't notice. And our parents are going to trust that the teachers have the right judgement. I try as hard as I can but if a teacher doesn't recognize that then that is not my fault. I'm sorry that the teacher doesn't notice me. But the main thing that bugs me is that when I say I did try really hard my parents pull out my report and say 'that's not what your report says.' Well my teachers don't have the best judgement of my effort. They can't see me at home studying my heart out or spending breaks in the library waiting for my stupid assignment to print off. So I'm sorry if that isn't effort enough. 

Anyways that is all I have to say today, I hope you liked seeing into my brain for a second.
Comment your thoughts below if you want, I assure you that I will read them. The only thing I can ask is that there is no name calling or rudeness. I'm happy for you to have your own opinion but please do not put myself or anyone else down for having their own opinion. :)
