Today, my parents saw my report card. Now, they refuse to buy me my the new computer I've always wanted because my grades had 'slipped'. I made honor roll for three terms, and was kept off for the fourth for a single bad grade. I failed gym. FML

To pass gym don't you have to just show up? Even if you aren't athletic all you have to do is make an ounce of effort. This feels like YDI.

if you failed gym you shouldn't have a computer. go out and exercise.

This. Physical education is actually trying to teach you exercising is NECESSARY to live healthy. You managed to fail, which means you didn't do your job in and outside class. Therefore, you were not a great studient, and you certainly don't deserve to get rewarded for that kind of behavior.

I don't think he's in shape to go work, make his own money, and buy his own computer. Jk.

When I was in high school you had to do a hell of a lot more than just showing up to pass. For one term we had two hours of gym per day. We had tests on the rules of the games and on the makeup of the human body and the bones/muscles. It was tough. That part wasn't so bad for me though... it was the actual playing of the games. The classes were co-ed, and if you slacked off even a little or weren't as co-ordinated, as a girl, the boys in the class would scream at you and berate you. It made me want to participate even less. The teacher didn't even stop them... since he was all buddy-buddy with those students. I ended up failing by 5%. The other terms we only had gym for 45 minutes each day. Those classes were much better because they were just "Hey, join a game that you want to play and go nuts for a half hour!" I passed those easily and it made up for my failing grade.

in reality, it wouldn't **** up his future at all. you can go to a community college for two years and then transfer to a good university. the only degree that matters is the ones you'll get from the better university.

So instead of doing your best you should just fail and have to spend 2 extra years making up for it? All because your parents won't just give you what you want but don't earn?

#15 is right, that's how my school is. Your grade would drop like 2% if you missed a day of gym and you always had to make it up after school, which can be really hard to do if you're taking all AP or honors classes. Also - our co-ed class has a bowling unit, a CPR unit, and a fitness unit, and there were tests on all of those units. On the bowling test, if you added one number wrong at the beginning and ended up one number off at the end, you recieved 0 credit. It really just depends on the class and the school - gym can be either really hard to fail or really easy to fail.

its hard to understand how a person manages to fail gym but that's besides the point. ur parents are too hard. looks like u'll have 2 get a job to pay for it. or maybe they'll lighten up.

His parents are not too hard. MINE are too hard. When I had a B in math, and As in every other subject, my parents were really mad at me. If I got an F in anything, I would probably be disowned.
