What would you consider to be a bad grade?

It depends. I would say a D or F is not really good at all. A c is average.  But what if you are a very good student and worked your buds off to get a good grade and got a C.  This would be a hard working C, but if you didn't work for it than any grade is bad because you didn't try.

my worst teacher was my sixth grade math teacher. he was horrible and didnt explain anyhting although if he would explain something he would get everyone confused. the worst part was we couldnt bad mouth him cause he was our principal

What do you have to be worried about, it's just a standerdized test.  It doesn't count towards your grade or anything.  I get straight A's in school, but I never worry about tests like that because my grade is not affected by them.

I reckon that it should be marked on how well the paper is written, as it is unfair to people who put a lot of effort into a paper and get crap grades, compared to other people who write what the teacher wants to hear without trying and getting better grades...not fair to the students who tried!

Ask her how you could improve your grade. Tell her that you were dissappointed by receiving such a low mark, and you really want to do better.

most colleges dont look at minuses or pluses, just A B C D and F. so they will see a 4.0 with your A-

Profs can grade however the hell they want. Written and verbal communication are very important to succeeding in any field. Take it as a warning.

Yeah... just tell yourself that you HAVE to do it... no matter how stupid it is!... it is for a grade... and a zero isn't good at all. a 30% is better than a 0%!!! You don't want to fail!

I see why he is having trouble at school...\nIf his writing (spelling / punctuation)  is as bad as yours, then he probably gets picked on by the rest of his class.

They grade it on a curve.  The majority get 3's.  The same ammount get 2's and 4's and the same ammount of students get 1's and 5's.  So it is diffferent every year.  I got a 3.

No.\nYou really don't fail a grade, you fail a class.  Depending on what your teacher says, you might have to take that class in eighth grade.

68, 70 and 79 are not horrible grade, they are very decent marks and okay so you never got an 'A' but you did do very well and you can't get top grades all the time.\n\nReally you should have told your parents what you got and you shouldn't have faked their signature either.\n\nIf I was you I would tell them the truth now, I'm sure your parents love you and they wont be disappointed with a B+, they may be hurt you copied their signatures and lied to the school about showing them your marks, but they will forgive you.

It depends on the scale and weight of the grades.  Presuming a four point scale and equally weighted classes, two A's (4.0) and one C (2.0) divided by four classes gives you a GPA of 2.5.  F's give you no points.

How does one's grades in school, equate with competency late in life ?\nThe list is very long, my friend, of folks who did poorly in school and later in life were geniuses. Nevermind the fact that even great grades, 4.0, is no indication of LEADERSHIP.\n\nI don't know where to find those records, nor do I care. Sorry.

sorry, but i have to agree with your parents. I mean in a perfect world you shouldnt be punished, but us teens lie all the time about what part or parts of their instructions we heard. Stuff like that happens all the time to me. Besides if you think you have it bad, I once got beat by my parents when i got a 3.5gpa, so if you want to know whether something is worth complaining about, compare it to that.
