First of all, I'd like to tell you that i'm 13 and I'm in grade 7. (Middle School) I work really hard and on my report card two thirds of it is A's and one third is B's. Is that okay or what?
Secondly, my parents were like "Straight A" students and now they expect me to be one too. Even all my cousins are "Straight A" students and the oldest one just got a scholarship and she just got 8 years of free medical education at a medical university! Omg.
Thirdly, my parents want me to be have the highest marks in my class. I have some really smart people in my class. There are these three girls that are real smart. Two of them I think are not smarter than me but one of them is really, really, really smart!
In grade 6 they used to give A, B, C, D grades but in Grade 7 they give percentages. In grade 6 and 7 last year. (2007) only 4 girls got the highest grades in the school. (They were all a tie) at 92%.
And my dad expects me to get at least 90% in every subject. I never got percentage grade before. So, is 90% a lot? How much should I aim for? If you had percentage grades in 6th, 7th or 8th grade how much did you get overall?
Anywayz, thanks to everyone who took the time to answer my very important question and have a great day! ~ Zainab (zeevee08) ~
