Yeah -- you're in a situation where it really does matter. I was basically passed out on the desk while five hundred kids went nuts over getting a bad grade on one test in a class that won't matter in five years. Suburban white kids have... strange... notions of what's important.
Eh I've got a 99% in Career Explorations and the teacher put Satisfactory on my mid semester assessment, wth? I think she forgot she's supposed to be assessing on the North American grading curve. XD
