Did you ever flunk OR nearly flunk any classes at school?

[Still-alive]

Any school level too from kindergarten to college. Anything you either flunked or got pretty close to flunking?

I'll fess up, i flunked the midterms for grade 10 Spanish smh. Also got a D in Algebra II

I turned into an uber-nerdy straight-A teacher's pet type with the 4.0 GPA when I went to the US for high school and university. I think a big part is that I was very culture-shocked by the US and started to become shy for a while and so I just spent the whole time studying and training for sports while being completely antisocial.

Yet before that in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan, I was only an average student and almost failed a geography course in junior high school (AKA middle school). I had a very difficult time memorizing all the names of countries and their cities in them throughout the world.

In high school in the US, I took a geography course a second time which seemed very redundant (it seems in Singapore, they teach high school geography in middle school while they teach that in high school in the US). Yet this time I just spent loads of time using index cards to help me memorize everything for the test and managed to get a perfect score. Still ended up forgetting almost everything soon after though. 😅

That’s crazy! But is there really

“Highschool” and “middle school geography?”

Isn’t all just geography? I will defend no one on this just see your reply if you choose lol

Apologies for offense and glad you made it! Congrats!

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

@Rosexøxø Cheers and definitely just "geography". I was just surprised at how similar the two courses were despite being grades apart. That was a general difficulty as well as ease I had being in new schools in new countries.

It was easier when I took subjects I was already taught in the previous schools, but also I had some difficulty with subjects that I wasn't previously taught and was expected to know already. So being the new kid at school a lot often meant some subjects were much easier than they're supposed to be and some much harder than they're supposed to be: being ahead in certain places but behind in others.

I also had a bit of an identity crisis growing up because as nerdy as I am these days, I actually started as the ultimate jock in Japan. I was an average student at best and always felt overwhelmed and behind in my studies but I was winning gold medals left and right in track, swimming, climbing, speed rope, gymnastics, etc. I think being half-white might have given me some genetic advantage initially being a bit bigger and taller than most of the pure Japanese students and I also had a very early growth spurt (didn't grow much bigger and taller in the end but I grew much earlier).

So I originally conceived of myself as the ultimate jock and my ego was associated with being a jock. Then when I went to US, I became the ultimate nerd. 😅

I think I failed like 10 classes in college. One of them twice😂 I bought the book, let me just borrow someone’s notes and show up for the test!🙄 Taking attendance…. I’M paying YOU, bruh. I’m buying this degree as much as I’m earning it, let’s get serious, lmao.

Legit, I would just go to the gym ALL DAY, skip all my classes, and just do the FULL PROGRAM at the gym. Warm-up, stretch, lift for 2 hours, play basketball, run on the treadmill for 5 miles, maybe hit the jacuzzi at the end…. and I justified it by saying “I’m taking care of my body, and nothing is more important than that.”😂 So college took a long time, but I don’t regret that one bit👍

[Rosexøxø]

I was a professional flunker, and I still made it out alive from them.

Once a kid who couldn’t read got to talking with me and somehow I mentioned my grade to make him feel better. “Don’t feel bad I failed band class, it’s not big deal.”

And the dude straight up turned on me and said, “who fails band class?”

I’ll never forget that day… and I never tried to encourage anyone since. (Jokes).

[Rosexøxø]

No* lol

[beebella]

I rarely ever got a "good" report card. I'm a little surprised that I never had to repeat a grade, tbh. 😅

[Fireguy17]

yeppers.
We had an advanced algebra class with a really bad teacher, and just couldn't stand it, so by the time we figured out that she was horrible it was too late to drop the class, so we just put in our time for half of the year, I tried, but i really didn't care.
My parents knew, they probably weren't happy, but I think they understood.
That was the only class.
The next year I was on the honor roll because you could get out of school during study halls if you were on the honor roll, so I worked a bit harder.

[loves2learn]

Not even close. Straight A student here. Almost to my own detriment tbh. You?

[Levin]

French. An Englishman does not learn French.

[mandyfire98]

I was lucky I never flunked. I always made good grades throughout highschool and college.

[Pink2000]

Yes several in college. Slacking off and being lazy

[serenalovesramen]

technically yeah but i was learning English so they let me pass

[WhitneySnow]

No..
