Mine were average. 70's, the odd 80. It would have helped if I opened a book and took it more seriously.

Grade 13 marks- the only ones that count. Well used to count.

Highest- music 96%
Lowest- english (writer's craft) 0%

But they only count the top 6, so the zero didn't matter- I had about 9 grade 13 credtis I think. Overall with a couple of repeat courses to upgrade, about 70 percent.

I'm sure it would have helped if I looked in a book now and again, but I hated school, and would much rather do just watch TV. I'm less lazy now.

I hated high school so much and I think only got one 80 and that was auto shop. They threatened to make me repeat grade nine because I skipped so much. Took a handful of OAC courses faired around 70's (I believe). I did so much better in College because I really wanted to be there and finally applied myself like my tachers and dean had asked me too.

Yep, but it's all relative. When you're 20, 36 (my age) is fucking ancient.

Sixty year olds look at me as a young punk. And my 92 year old grandmother still thinks I'm a baby. No shit!

You're only as old as you feel. Just ask Cat Driver!

You know what really dates you? It's when you say "this new music is shit". NO! All music is great! DO NOT LIMIT YOURSELF! (to the music you listened to in high school)

That will keep you young forever.

Some advice from a guy that spied a grey hair yeserday. :roll:

As a disclaimer, I was high school in the late 70's and early 80's. I really don't remember much about it, except one year I got the highest marks in the school, and the next I was expelled :roll:

Seriously. It was a pain in the ass. I had to establish "residency" in another county, show independent income, etc. It was a miracle I ever went to university, where I had one heluva good time :lol:

The joke, it turned out, wasn't on me. My high school (in Toronto, the rectum of Canada) turned out to have incredibly high level of airborne asbestos - all the (smoking) teachers were dying off like flies.

It was condemned, and declared a hazardous waste site. It sat empty for years before they finally figured out how to tear it down without injuring the construction workers.

Gosh, I wish I wasn't expelled from high school, and spent more years breathing asbestos.

Overall highschool average was something like 93%, with the lowest marks in grade 9. Grade 12 average was something like 95, and OAC (13) was 94. People always bugged me about why I didn't go to University and become a [insert high-paying random office/doctor job]. Because I love to fly, and wouldn't do anything else.

My average was probably 55%, the only reason I passed was because of exams they would shoot my mark right up.

I skipped so much in high school that I probably never should have graduated. I played alot of spots though and that put me in teaches good books. I wonder if I would have passed without that.

eh, I tried, not overly exerted myself though...

In grade 10 I had about a 72 average, then grade 11 probably about 75, with one term in the 80's, in grade 12 i applied myself though and had about a 79 percent average (if that could be considered applying youself by some :lol: )
