Teacher's grading style?

[Jaziek]

A teacher gave you.. YOU! A bad grade?! how dare he, I mean, all he is is a pitiful little teacher, what right does he have to grade you the way he sees fit?

 

Maybe.. shock shock horror horror... YOU GOT SOMETHING WRONG?

 

or maybe.. He doesnt like you because you're and arrogant little [bleep]er so he gives you a bad grade because he knows it'll piss you off.

 

 

 

 

 

If I were you I'd go and whine about it on the internet.

[snarlin]

tough luck,get over it..it is one measly grade that is not up to par with your usual grades..you will manage.

 

 

 

there will always be times where you thought you did wonderful,and it turns out your mark is below of what you ever could have expected..even with someone oh so brilliant as you,clearly.

 

 

 

if you went here looking for sympathy,you're at the wrong place..honestly,this is just laugh worthy.

You're whining about a bad grade over the internet :roll:

university?

I was always good at history...especially in 9th grade. I was a freakin' tank. We would have knowledge matches, 2 teams,. one member of each team comes up and answers the question, first to hit the bell got to answer. The other team always got this real sad look on their face when I went up....

 

 

 

Back on subject: I would laugh so hard if you thought you wrote 15 pages, but it was really 14, and that;s what got you a 78%. :XD:

blah blah blah blah

 

 

 

 

 

 

my god..get over yourself.

 

 

 

all this does is reinstate all your whineyness from the first post..that is all you do..yes,i am sure your dad is wonderful,yes i am sure you are intelligent and have a "high academic ability"..but honestly..i'm glad you got a grade like this,maybe it will make you more humble..although,judging from this..i doubt it.

 

 

 

we all get lower grades at times..you just keep going..instead of going on about it and removing all the blame from the fact that it may not have been as brilliant as you thought it was.

I'm glad I've never met you and never will.

 

 

 

You're pretentious obsessiveness over your grades is disturbing, to say the least. You, sir, are nowhere near ready for the real world if you can't handle a 78% and you gauge yourself merely on your ability to get a good grade. It's like Twain always said: Don't let booklearnin' get in the way of your education. Here, it seems it has, as you fail to see the lesson from this and immediately jump to gradegrubbing. Pathetic. You can't survive in the real world, hell, you can barely survive a B- with out freaking out. Weakling.

 

 

 

I would reference Einstein as an example for why one can be great at science and math and yet fail LA, but you'd probably skip the analogy and assume it was flattery, which is the last thing an arrogant prat like you needs or deserves. So, I won't.

 

 

 

I mean, at the moment, there are some exams in which a 70%+ would be an A grade and a pretty damn good mark to get. Whereas it seems over there you guys seem to think its a kind of.. meh.. grade that I would place more around the mid fifties. After all, 50% is a C in most GCSEs here.

 

Example: You can fail (<70%) the National AP Bio Exam and still get a 5 on it :lol: . Weird, eh?

^ Amen, although slightly off topic I hope you don't have negative view of Oxbridge (admittedly I've been thinking of making a thread about it - I do wonder how we are stereotyped but I'm worried about coming across as self-indulgent) Did you put in an application? Also I'm pretty sure his "college official" won't get anywhere - here at least the tutors pick who they want as students and from what I've seen its entirely up to them.

 

I have certain views of Oxbridge... they are ̮̩̉̉litist and they've been rigging the education system for the best part of 400 years now. I think with Oxbridge you have to understand it's the not the students inside Oxbridge I stereotype and get annoyed with; it's the impression those in the job sector have of the word 'Oxbridge' on a CV. A PhD at Manchester is still more than a first-class degree at Cambridge. That's my viewpoint - but it's seemingly not theirs and it does irk me slightly. -.-

 

 

 

I didn't put in application because I wanted to keep my education in Northern England in a traditional red-brick university in the industrial cities (Manchester, Yorkshire and Liverpool). Not snobbery of the South... I'm just proud of my Northern roots.

 

 

 

That was my argument too. Let's face it; grades mean very little when it comes to jobs. They ask for the bare minimum, anything more is just a nice bonus. What they really want to know is if that person had the right persona for the job/career that person was going after. Clearly, they judged 'no', and I think they would know better than that 'college official'. :P

 

 

 

Thanks for the reply, could I ask you to be a bit more specific on the elitism for me? In the example you gave of an employer taking a lower Oxbridge degree (which I presume you meant) over a higher non-Oxbridge degree I can quite understand; but if an employer has two equal degrees to chose from (say, a B.A.) then you can't blame them for choosing Oxford - its just a better degree.

 

 

 

Fair enough wanting to stay in the North, its a shame though - the amount of debating, politics and similar you could have participated in is huge.

 

 

 

Agreed on the argument - grades mean sod all, hopefully this "college official" will get slapped down by a tutor (they can be damn scary when they do that!)
