I'm taking these precious minutes from my coucher to tell you why i hate report cards. It's not that i hate report cards, or the stupid D i have in Pinocci, rather it's the way that the grades are interpreted by the reader. Here's an example. I don't try all THAT hard in math, but i get the material. In fact, nearly every test that i do poorly on can be attributed to my abundance of careless errors. This is why i have a D in precalc. Easy algebra and trig messing up my entire grade. Not fun. I don't believe however, that the the D on my soon-to-come report card should be what it says. A 'D' is just so harsh. It practically yells out at your parents "HE'S STUPID! HE'S LAZY! HE'LL NEVER GO TO COLLEGE! RESTRICT HIM NOW BEFORE HE HAS A CHANCE TO FUCK IT UP AGAIN!". I believe that if the 'D' on my report card changed to a 'd', my parents wouldn't be so angry. In fact, all grades c and below should be lower case. The only caps allowed on your report card should be A and B, to show your success at finally throwing back your math test and dancing on the old bird's face.
And comments? What a load of bullshit. "Student makes a consistant effort", "Student never does homework", "Student threatens me in the hallway". What good does that do? All the positive comments mean nothing. But then when you start getting into the higher numerals, then all of a sudden your parents start caring. What about all the times i DID do my homework. Nobody remembers that, even though i do it every single day for one class of the other. Goddamn it.. Pinocci's hw is unreasonable anyway.
Maybe i need to try harder. and maybe i should beg pinocci to put me back on the list. and maybe i should just get it over with and fail.
