I'm talking about the real report cards that had handwritten grades by your teacher and you took it home to your parents to have them sign it.

Today parents can get on an app to get instant grades for their kids or get a printout of their current grades each period.

Man I miss the good ole school days!

I miss them. Now I have to yell at my kids weekly instead of once every nine weeks.

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.

You could bring it to McDonalds and get a free pack of fries or something if your grades were good enough, or so I was told.

Our religion does not permit the consumption of anything French in origin.

Scruffy's younger brother is 15. The school now sends an email to parents if you fail a test or quiz.

Scruffy would have been screwed in high school.

Remember that scene in WarGames when Matthew Broderick's character hacked the 80s computer system and changed his grades?

That was awesome.

I remember mine from the days they looked like a hard-paper version of a church bulletin, for example. Literally the same card for one school year, each 6 weeks filled out after the period. At the end of the year, we had all grades on one single fold 8x11" with 6 separate signatures from my parents. Had to return them to school after they saw the grades and signed. Eventually, the cards went to individual class 3x5's but each had to be signed and returned.

My mom saved all of me and my brothers report cards from K-12. I wasn't the best student!

I really don't like the O, S, N grading system my kid's school uses.
