<p>^jazz: This isn’t really an answer but in P.E. my freshman year, my class got a new teacher after the first semester who took ten points off my final grade because I “talked to the girls too much”, even though I was putting the same effort in. The first semester I had an A+, second semester I had a B. It’s ridiculous how much P.E. ruins grades; on the other hand, the first semester teacher always split us into two groups: “Those who like sports” and “Those who aren’t very good”. It made P.E. a lot more fun for me (in the “not very good” group).</p>
<p>And alamemom, do you know if there’s a specific date I need my mid-year grades in by? My school won’t give out report cards until the week after President’s day (we’ve been blizzarded-out)…</p>
