especially if it continues past middle school

it's your education, and your responsibility to do what you need to do
i can understand if you're getting Ds and Fs and your parents getting on your ass about it, but hell a B is still damned good
it's above average and still lands you in honors/AP, plus still gets you good scholarships

the "achievement" sentiment in general pisses me off

football/athletic parents are worse than academic ones, so i guess there's no reason to complain about a situation i'm not in

This is what happens when we establish rules/expectations.
They're going to be broken and people somehow wonder why.

my dad was a really good baseball player
I think he was a little disappointed when he found out I couldn't hit a ball no matter how hard I tried
I was good in the outfield though, my friends told me I had one hell of an arm so I probably could've been a good pitcher but I liked the outfield better

My mother expects more from me than she could deliver.

She didn't take Pre-Algebra until her senior year of college - when she flunked out.

All she knows how to do is vacuum (That's what she does for a living, I'm not joking.) and when I don't vacuum perfectly she says "You will never get a good job like me or amount to anything!"

@Colorful

my mom was pretty honest with me when it came to math
I asked her for help one time and she said
"[My name here], I'm going to be honest. I can't help you. I don't remember anything past Pre-Algebra. If you need help, go ask your father."

that's usually a junior course
sophomore if you land yourself in geometry freshman year

My sister was talented when it came to math.
She was in Trigonometry by junior year.

And now that she's an adult:
*The only job she's ever had was as a cashier.
*She hangs out with friends 24/7
*She's addicted to a few things.
*She golddigs a rich, intelligent guy and has only been getting through college because he's been doing all of her work for her.

I'm disappointed in her.

honors bio ain't that bad
just answer ATP to any answer you don't know on a test, and you'll pass

pre-ap bio (AP curriculum but no test) is so, so much harder
