re: My Kid's loser math teacher gave her a C and her final HS GPA fell to a 3.499

I guess next year you might try a little harder for teacher appreciation week.

Cut him some slack. He went to Moo St.

At MIT, maybe. Not at most universities.

I like a nice set of Cs. Give me her number and I'll report back on how they perform in the field.

I was in engineering at LSU, which started with Calc I as the first math, I remember a few people had to take algebra and trig because their ACT/pre-testing math scores weren't high enough to start with calculus, wastes a year of time

Do you know what GPA stands for?

It's an average, cool cat. This one math grade did not cause your precious angel to have a GPA below 3.5.

OK, so how did a teacher walking you through a freshman algebra exam assure you a 4.0 GPA over the next 4-5 years?

Well she didn't walk me through it. I always found it ironic that I missed exactly the number of questions I needed to in order to still have an A in the class. I sat there and watched her check off the incorrect answers.

I never really came close to making a B in of the other classes I took. While I pretty easily made an A in the next math class I took, I've always been a "right-brained" person. Math and science never made much sense to me.

If you think that's bad wait till she tells you she's pregnant.

Because if she makes C's she's banging and slanging that cat
