Current Events > Did you fail any subjects in high school?

(+) Yeah! (+)

No. I did sabotage myself by being lazy and not doing homework. But I understood the subject matter without the homework, so I still did well on all of the tests. Most classes ended up as a B or a C, depending on how heavily they weighed the homework. Math was my best subject though. I was taking Calc 2 in senior year.

I failed Religion class in 9th grade and had to go to summer school, but since noone really fails Religion they had no classes for it and I ended up having to take some history debate class to make up for it. I failed Art the following year and went to summer school for that as well.

A quarter of geometry because I didn't do my work. Still passed.

so you didnt fail

---

No, but I think that's cause the teacher's liked me. I took the entire month of December off and somehow still passed.

---

Im kinda intrigued by algebra, I feel like now that im older I could do it, thinking about taking a beginners class at a local community college

---

I was an A-B-C student for the most part. I struggled with Honors English in my freshman year (got a D in that subject once), and had difficulty with AP American History, Algebra, and Physics in my junior year.

---

No

---

Currently in high school. Last year I failed math, but made a huge comeback over the summer. Cant say the same for my brother

---

failed english 10, english 11, spanish 1
---

No, I've never failed a class in any grade or college.

---

I failed a ton because I didn't care. I'd have to go to CC to even partly recover. >_>
---

Got a D in Honors Precalc. It was my senior year, I was lazy and the teacher was more interested in coaching than teaching.

Got a degree in mathematics and stats anyway

---

Due to ADHD or ADD or whatever the tf I have, i nearly failed 70% of all my tests since middle school. Not even joking. Yet, I was a D student. Sometimes B-C. A only like in PE and ceramics.

---

Failed a lot of classes lmao
Math, biology, economics, chemistry, physics, art. Don't even know how I graduated.

---

Algebra

---

I failed a lot because I was too up my own ass to care

---

No. Highschool was piss easy and I got straight As with minimal effort.

---

I didn't fail anything but I barely passed Phys Ed with the lowest possible passing grade of 60, which I blame entirely on the fact that my teacher was an asshole jock who couldn't fathom the idea of a teenage male who didn't care about football. Rather than actually encouraging any of us to get better at athletics he basically just openly shit on us in the middle of class for not knowing what "1st and 10" means. I'm honestly surprised I passed at all with that moron as a teacher.

Physics 11. Though I had trouble understanding the teacher due to his accent and horrible horrible handwriting. Took it in summer school right after and got A+.

I put a report card of all Fs on my mom's refrigerator.

---

I failed an accounting class in college.

---

i failed spanish once, i blame the teacher still

---

Almost failed chemistry. U need at least a 65 to pass and I think I ended with a 68 lmfao.

Failed first 3 AP Comp sci quarters badly. Then ended last one with a 100 and got a 5 on the AP exam which saved me. I used to be so garbage at it but now I'm really good and also majoring in it lol. Comp sci is hard to learn, easy to master.

I needed a 70% to pass chemistry and I made a 70. My teacher (who was a real douche) announced in front of the whole class that I made the bare minimum to pass and that he wouldnt have given me an extra point if I made a 69%. I smarted off and the whole class laughed. Good times. The guy was also the principal and owner of the school, but he was probably the worst teacher I can remember.

It was all straight out of the book. No labs, no mixing chemicals together.

---

My 10th grade year I failed every class, but it was so early on I was able to bring them all up.

---

Only one I failed was Advanced English; I was good at it, but I was a Freshman and didn't apply myself to it. We had to write some 30-page letter to ourselves (to be read by us again as Seniors, I guess) that was a massive amount of our total credit and all-or-nothing, and I didn't bother to finish it. I thought it was kind of stupid, and I think I only had like 26 pages.

No, Im a smart person.

You got this man. You may miss these days eventually. Work life can be easier but it can also be less fun than school years.

---

No, and I'm always surprised to learn people did fail things.

---

I "failed" a full semester of classes because I missed too many days despite the fact that I made A's and B's. Hell, I got every question right on the state exam for one of those classes, so it's possible I couldn't have passed it any harder than I did.

It turned out to not be a huge deal. They took me out of a computer class in the next semester and put me in an absolute joke of a make-up course. You spent one period a day running through modules on a laptop that were meant to teach you the subject you were making up. Between the modules being stupidly easy, me already knowing the subjects, and being open book for whatever I didn't know, I think I finished them all in like two months. So then I spent the rest of the semester watching Monster.

So instead of taking a class that would have actually taught me new skills, I spent most of a semester watching anime in my first period.
