Wow, DeanAshton9! "i always hated the kids who did nothing in gym class who did nothing. All u have to do is try and u get a good grade ur an idiot." Apparently, you did nothing in english class when you were in high school. Great job.

wow #180, way to hit below the belt on that one. who the **** cares about grammar / spelling?! this is the ******* intarwebz!! dont go around correcting other ppl's english to make urself feel superior, you snobby e-thug.

Dude, I hear you. I get straight "A"s outside of gym. Luckily, gym grades don't factor into your overall average at my school. I still get an average in the high 90s while having a 60 in gym :)

I believe this one. A very similar situation happened to me in high school...I'm not very athletic, but I didn't stand around and always tried to do whatever they had us do. However, the teacher hated me for some reason (I know that sounds like an excuse, but my friend in the class noticed it too) so at the end of the quarter, I got a D-. My friend, who I always did things with, got an A...so it's not really fair to say that you'll get an A as long as you show up. It really depends on the teacher. And I wasn't a slacker in high school...I was valedictorian, so I wasn't the type to just be apathetic. My parents were pissed even though I explained that it wasn't my fault. Naturally I got my license the day after my report card came, and my parents' first act was to take the car away for getting a bad grade in gym.

Honestly? Boo ******* hoo. Mommy and Daddy won't buy you something. I got good grades because it was *expected* of me. F's got me beatings, and I quickly learned NOT to get F's. C's got me grounded. A's kept my ass safe. While that's a pretty hard-tack line (especially since my brother and sister both got away with suspensions and failing all the time with maybe a grounding), I don't regret it. It taught me that I had to WORK FOR WHAT I WANTED. Something many kids today are lacking. BTW, I'm 24. It's not like I'm a 50 year old ranting about the good ole days where we went to cut our own switches (although I've had to do that once or twice...*sigh*). Some kids today don't even know what a "switch" is.

Sucks a little that you're being frozen out for gym. However, the fact that you're expecting a computer out of good grades more than douchebags it the other way.

My gym class sucked; a large part of it was tests, based on memorizing the rules and regulations to sports I had no interest in (wrestling, in particular). Also, 25% of your final grade was based on being able to run a 8-minute mile. The grading in my gym class was Pass/Fail; so, obviously, if you were to fail over half the tests given (meaning getting even one answer wrong), you've failed the class.

You have to try really hard to fail gym, harder than it is to pass. Also, save to buy a new computer yourself. Good grades gets a pat on the back and a good job, not a new computer. Sounds pretty spoiled to me.

Maybe they didn't buy you a computer because they wanted you to stop playing video games and get fitter.

You see. This is why you should always under preform and only bring out the big guns when there are intensives. Otherwise people just expect you to always preform that well and berate you if you don't.
