dossed around year 7-11 got in minor trouble consistently, worked hard when it really mattered for GCSEs though and got all A*s and As.
Sixth form worked quite hard and was more motivated and organised, got AAA and went to Bristol to do physics.
Got to uni and just pissed around and partied constantly years 1 and 2, drinking and getting high with mates all the time, started working kinda hard or at lewast harder in third year cos i was just barely on a 2:1 (61%) then corona virus happened before my dissertation hand in and exams and they gave us all a no detriment policy so i literally got handed my 2:1 for free which was nice.
Now doing a masters and im trying to rediscover my Sixth form work ethic again

Why is being appointed valedictorian by your school principal "silly," silly goose? It means you are one of the brightest and talented students in your school.

And I didn't get into the gifted and talented program in JR high only because I never did my homework. I hated schoolwork. I only cared about gymnastics.

School - good at first. Then class clown. Then totally disillusioned with life and phucked it all up and left with practically nothing.

Night school to get enough a-levels to go to uni (oops lol) - absolute 100% focus and teacher’s pet. Aced it all, finally accessed my potential.

Uni - pilled to the gills twice a week, total party monster but knew how to focus when necessary.

Now I’m a boring nerd who spends his spare time reading text books and looking at mock exams.

No regrats but I do wonder what I could have done if I hadn’t been such a phucking idiot at school.

Edit: if I were rich I’d complete another degree then try for a phD srs.

Homeschooled all the way through hs. Good grades but I only studied the stuff I was interested in. Used to do a bunch of debate research and speech editing for other homeschooled kids in hs.

Couldn't afford college till I was early 20s, was working full time overnights and taking full time credits, so I kinda skated with B's and C's for a year, zero social life, and then I dropped out to get married.

....because it’s elementary school. Not exactly about the academic load and I’m not sure what the point of singling kids out at that age is.

High School -

class clown
ended up with a B- average
my old principal liked me a lot and had connections @ University of Connecticut, got me in even with my **** grades (need at least a B+ to go there usually)
got recruited by several D1 schools to play Tennis but quit because i didn't want to play in college



College-
majored in English
never went to any classes (prob went to 30% of my overall classes)
ended with a 2.2 GPA (terrible)
all i cared about was partying, video games, and playing competitive tournament paintball (sounds really gay but was fun as fuk, traveled around the country for events)



ended up in sales so none of this chit mattered anyway

So if it's not about academic load, then it's about IQ and genetic potential in the arts and/or science. It has meaning. It wasn't about "singling out kids." It was about acknowledging an individual's potential and academic abilities back in the day. My personal belief is that it's not in students' best interests to be rewarded for just joining a club/team or extracurricular activity. Awards of any kind should be legitimately earned. That's how true confidence (or self-efficacy) is developed, imho.

I never developed good study habits/discipline, hated school (college wasn't so bad, but grades 1-12 I pretty much hated).

Coasted by, and managed to get good grades a lot while being lazy. There were times/certain classes, where my grades reflected my laziness though for sure.

Got through a Masters, and my grad school grades were actually good.

I think we are exaggerating the role of IQ (an overrated concept anyway) here if we are talking about 4th and 5th grade academics. What are they doing, long division and basic arithmetic? It's just silly imo for a school to be ranking kids in academics in elementary school- and Im not alone in this thinking, the elementary school I went to did nothing of the sort.

High School:

Went to a very preppy high school with the cliche jocks, cheerleaders, stoners etc everyone got along well though
Enjoyed high school mostly hung out with my soccer crew
Never Skipped
Did above average had a 3.4 or 3.5 GPA somewhere around there
Barely studied
I was very good at cramming the night before or the day, and would easily take in info for the test.

College:
Went to UGA
Skipped classes constantly would go into a class I hadn't been to in like 2 weeks, and we would have a test lmao
Partied way too much my first semester got put on Academic Probation had something terrible like a 1.5 GPA or something
Finally got my chit together my 2nd year toned down on the partying, and took College way more seriously
Graduated with a 3.3 or something you see a trend here lol try to be just above average...
Arsenal FC

Winnipeg Jets

University:

- 75 percent or 3.0 gpa
- skipped 95 percent of classes and only showed up for mid terms and finals
- if we had a group project I’d literally just delegate tasks, bring coffee and then present the stuff
- always cheated when the opportunity presented itself
- drank a lot and worked at a bar
HS - Average to Medium Bad ass

Col/Uni - full blown Bad ass!

Graduated college with a 3.0 GPA in MechE

was the most average student

liked the material but school made me depressed, **** studying, **** homework, **** all the nerds

my thinking is that if I can be average(grades) relative to all the FA's, incels, nerds in my major, and have great social skills, I am gonna make it

the people making all the money and getting promoted weren't FA's in college...

In high school I was a decent student until senior year. Got senioritis real bad and felt like it lasted thru college.

I had no idea what I wanted to do, wasn't great at math so that ended up limiting my options even more. Didn't want to be in school at all, even took a semester off. I was glad to go back when I did but still was a terrible student. My path of least resistance was a Geography degree.

The schools are forced to rank the kids because each student has varying degrees of ability in all subjects (reading, writing, math, fine arts such a music- some of the most important).

I was a memorizer.

I got good grades in HS but I never absorbed anything. I would literally just memorize everything word for word.


In college I had no fukking clue what I wanted to do with my life. I wasted a lot of time and money getting a degree I gave no chits about. If I had any sort of parenting back then, I would have better off getting some sort of advice about college or life decisions.

I was the naturally smart but absolutely chit tier work ethic student. Any class that didn't interest me I put in 0 effort but still managed a B, C if the class was difficult or required a lot of work that I wasn't going to do. Any class that caught my fancy, I would ace.

Graduated both high school and bachelor's with a similar GPA... about 3.3ish for both lol. In high school I took advanced courses, and was in marching band, but I remember I failed almost every "AP Test" which would've been used for college credit. Was fat until Junior year, didn't have a social life because I played video games all day when I wasn't doing school/band. Didn't have a car, didn't go to parties (or get invited to them). Didn't have a job either.

In college I barely ever drank except on the rare occasions for college football and random parties in the area from time to time, but I did enter the 420 world of things for a solid year. Had some low grades the first year, but didn't care cuz they were still passing. Until I had one semester where I failed every class, probably not a coincidence that my behaviors were chit at that time, skipped a lot of classes, smoke 420 and played games/watched anime all day, overslept and missed a final exam once, all around the same Semester that I was facing some entry level Computer Science courses. Took control of my life, stopped the 420, actually read through textbooks sometimes, did homework the day it was assigned, went to office hours, rarely partied anymore, etc. Also got a job.

Didn't get a car until after I graduated college though.

If I could go back in time I'd:

1) Lose weight / exercise more in Middle school so that entering High school I'd be somewhat fit/thin. Not an insecure chubby. Also probably would've been more diet conscious.

2) I wouldn't have gotten into the one relationship I got into in high school. I was just an immature pervert, srs.

3) I would've quit band a year sooner than I did. It lost its fun and become more of a chore/annoyance later.

4) Actually study/practice for the ACT/SAT before taking them, and then do retakes. Back then, I didn't care and just went in with base knowledge.

5) Start a part time job in place of band. Save some money. Work full time in the Summer. Would've strengthened my social skills and given me some cash to avoid some debt down the road, srs.

6) In College I'd have taken my classes more seriously for the first year or 2. Would've graduated potentially 2 Semesters sooner. Saving some money and starting to generate an income earlier by half a year.

Placing students in advanced or gifted classes (can also be a silly thing sometimes) is different than ranking kids academically school-wide and crowning a valedictorian at that age (again, I think this latter concept is a joke...that’s just me, and apparently others too, as this is not common in elementary schools as far as I’m aware).

Kids are....kids in elementary school. It’s great to be focused on academics and all, but we are talking about what are numbers, how to multiply and divide, etc- just silly to attach a rank or a #1 achiever to any of this.

I could imagine this could generate a false sense of superiority in a kid, and there could be negative consequences (they may not think they have to work as hard in later years and slack off, may think they are above a subject when they’re not, etc). This grade school “gifted” and advanced stuff is kinda silly anyway when you look back at it all....unless some kid is conjecturing the prime number theorem at 15 like Gauss or something like that...eh who cares.

I was mediocre my first year of high school, but then idk how, I just naturally started caring a lot and became a super nerd.

I excel with the academics, not necessarily social skills. Which is weird. Because I work in a sales role lol.

-Kind of got my chit together enough to graduate with a 3.1 GPA....would have been better if I didn't have to pull up a 1.1


I regret some of my choices early on in college.
