There Is One In Each Classroom

I hope you realize there are some kids out there where their parents don’t settle for anything less than the best. That A- might seem good to you, but that kid could have a whole series of degrading comments and ‘you could have done better’ thrown at them at home.
It’s the way they were raised, anything less than perfect is a failure.

Repost for the comment

Yeah, lemme tell you about the time I got 99% on an exam, and my father bellowed at me, “WHERE’S THE OTHER ONE PERCENT?????”. It broke my heart, and almost thirty years later, it STILL hurts.

You know what one of my most vivid memories of Year 7 science is? Throughout the year I’d gotten 96%, 98%, 99%, 99.6%, which was my teacher’s way of saying ‘I know you know your shit, but don’t slack off, I want to push you to be great’. Well FINALLY I got my prized 100%, and I packed it in my bag especially to show my grandpa.
You know what he says?
‘So you ARE smart. Why couldn’t you get this mark on all those other tests then?’
The next year I had such high expectations on me, when I got 80% I was shattered.

Last time I had a chat with my best friend, he told me how he did on his finals, he humbly told me he got something like 85%; then I told him that is very good, afterwards, he told me that he got punished so bad.
Some parents REALLY must learn how to obtain the half full glass attitude.

A couple semesters ago I was taking a Physics class and I could tell I was likely going to get a B in the class (I ended up getting an A anyway) and I almost went and dropped the class right there.

I got so much stress over the possibility of getting a B…

I lost internet for half a year because I made an 84 in one of my classes
