Pretty much the way it was in my day. Started signing my Mom's name in 7th grade and kept it up, it helps to have an older brother to show you the ropes. She didn't ask questions since I didn't fail and she didn't get any calls.

grandkids still get report cards. but they have stupid needs improvement type grading. No more A B C D F shite. Pussy arse school systems.

When I was a kid, a C would get you grounded. anything less was a death sentence.


Yep. The only time that we had needs improvement and such was in Kindergarten.

I remember forging my dads name on a progress report only to have the teacher show it to my dad when report cards came out and he saw my F.

The scream of please don't kill my brother as my dad beat my rear still haunts me to this day.

I remember practicing my dad's signature one time in grade school. Couldn't pull it off so I just handed the card to him and took the arse whoopin'.

That's good shite. I tried forging my dad's signature in fourth grade, but my teacher was on to me when she noticed I spelled my own dad's name incorrectly.

I also remember making a D on a multiplication test in 2nd grade. Everybody had to get their rest signed no matter the grade. My friend made an A so I stole his test and erased his name and put mine on it and put his name on mine. Crap hit the fan when I got busted for that one as well.

I was pretty stupid back in the day.

The bus ride home always became a den of forgery, with students doctoring grades with laser-like precision, on report card days.

My 10th grade year, I had a hellish schedule as it was my first year taking all AP classes, I had AP US History, AP Art History, AP Calculus, AP Biology, AP Biology lab and AP World Lit. I was 15 at the time about to turn 16 right after the school year ended and my m om told me that If I didn't get a C all year long, she would get me any car I wanted under 20,000.

I wanted 2000 Monte Carlo so damn bad I had already started saving money to upgrade the sound system, buy some rims lol.


So all is good first quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter comes and I started having issues in Biology because well I hate science pretty much. Had a C at interim report cards but managed to get a B-.


4th quarter comes and I was paying attention in class and shite and had a 95 at interim. The combination of thinking I"m home free, and the end of the school year, I was playing AAU ball and was never at home on the weekends and stuff combined with us studying shite I had zero interest in, I managed to go from a 95% to a 68% by the time of my final report card.


But fear not lol, I'm not going to let a fricking report card come between me and the red on black monte carlo I wanted so bad. I was always the computer guy at school so when someone had a computer problem that wasn't too serious they would call me out of class to go fix it or look at it, so I knew where they kept the report card paper at, you know the paper with the watermark on the background. The last day of school I sneak into the room and grab some paper, go home and in notepad and in 2 days made an absolute perfect carbon copy of the report card, pixel perfect, just to change the D to an A lol. She had no reason to not believe it I had an A at interim. Home free!


the week after I turned 16 and about 2 weeks before we were going to go pick out the car, my mom finds out she's pregnant, at 36, with my now 16 year old sister so instead of buying me the car she gives me her hand me down 92 Accord.


However I did save the report card and sold fake report cards for $50 dollars the next year. I made about $800 dollars

This is how much of a gambling degenerate I am lol.

When I was 10 my dad would give me $10 dollars to bet at Oaklawn for every A I brought home and $5 for every B.

Daily Racing Forms legit helped me understand math I never didn't have an A in math I could convert times to Speed figures when i was like 12. or probability lol to me everything was horse racing odds if Johnny had 10 apples and 3 were red and 7 were green Johnny was 9/5 to pick green

I was screwed because my dad signs his name like he's an aristocrat. It's declaration of independance type shite. And he was a mechanic. Those crazy kids born in the thirties and their "identity theft" shenanigans.

I remember the REAL report cards from elementary school in the '70s. You got an envelope with an individual report card from each subject. There were multiple areas in which you were graded - receiving a triangle, a check, or an X.

My stepbrother made a "D" in social studies in Junior High and tried to mark it like it was a "B" grade.

My dad was born and raised out in the boondocks of St. Helena Parish but he caught on real quick. My brother got a belt whipping for lying about the grade.

Talk about lenient parents. I didn't get a god damn B until Middle School 7th grade "Career Discovery." Should have known then I didn't really want to work.

Best signature attempted forgery I witnessed was in 4th grade too. Kid turns in paper he was to have signed by his mom. Hands it over and starts walking away. Teacher looks down, looks up, and asks "Did you cut your mom's signature out from something else?"

Class died.

Same here. Funny I wasn't "sent away" based on my grades!
