Grades Quotes

When my first semester grades came out, my mom and dad told me I wouldn’t be playing football Picture Quote #1

I didn’t have good grades until I started dancing, because I didn’t try - I didn’t see the point. Once I realized why I wanted to go to college, I started to study and do well. I knew I had to have a certain GPA to get in Picture Quote #1

I had decent but not great grades in high school because I was highly motivated in some subjects, like the arts, drama, English, and history, but in math and science I was a screw-up. Wooster saw something in me, and I really flourished there. I got into theatre, took photography and painting classes Picture Quote #1

I was the kind of kid who couldn’t really stop making up stories during class. I didn’t do very well academically because I was always drawing these little doodles in the margins of my notebooks and I wasn’t bringing home the best grades Picture Quote #1

To focus on technique is like cramming your way through school. You sometimes get by, perhaps even get good grades, but if you don’t pay the price day in and day out, you’ll never achieve true mastery of the subjects you study or develop an educated mind Picture Quote #1

In school, many of us procrastinate and then successfully cram for tests. We get the grades and degrees we need to get the jobs we want, even if we fail to get a good general education Picture Quote #1

I was the daughter of an immigrant, raised to feel that I needed to get excellent, flawless grades and a full scholarship and a graduate degree and a good job - all the stepping stones to conventional success Picture Quote #1

Oakland Technical High School. Like any high-school experience, it was ambiguous. I was shy with girls; I had friends, but there were times I didn’t feel I had the right friends. My grades were only so-so Picture Quote #1

I was a bit of a delinquent growing up, a very poor student - I nearly failed several grades before dropping out of high school and getting a G.E.D. But I still read a lot. Thrillers and war novels, mostly, along with the occasional literary novel from my parents’ bookshelf Picture Quote #1

First grade is very cheap. It’s the later grades where you have to spend a lot of money if you don’t do it right Picture Quote #1

Screaming at children over their grades, especially to the point of the child’s tears, is child abuse, pure and simple. It’s not funny and it’s not good parenting. It is a crushing, scarring, disastrous experience for the child. It isn’t the least bit funny Picture Quote #1

..we are trained as children to get good grades, get a good job, get a good spouse, get children, get ahead. In all this getting we get something else: anxiety and depression Picture Quote #1

I wanted to get everything right. I was super nerdy and academic. I got so much satisfaction out of getting good grades Picture Quote #1

I was not an outstanding student. I did a reasonable amount of work. I got generally good - pretty good grades, but I was not that passionate about getting straight A’s Picture Quote #1

Academic achievement was something I’d always sought as a form of reward. Good grades pleased my parents, good grades pleased my teachers; you got them in order to sew up approval Picture Quote #1

For me, sports is a big part of my life. It helped me through high school. It helped me get better grades, because if you don’t have good grades, you can’t play sports Picture Quote #1

I have always survived with comedy, in that I grew up very dyslexic and did not get good grades. I always thought I was dumb, and there are many people out there that would agree Picture Quote #1

I was always the class clown, although many teachers view the class clown as a trouble maker. But I always had good grades, so the only thing my parents were told was that while I was intelligent, I talked too much Picture Quote #1

I’m a big fan of good grades. But I am going to suggest to you that you will find that the skills of a student are of somewhat less use to you once you get out into what is sometimes referred to as ‘the real world.’ Picture Quote #1

I’ve been acting since I was young because I wanted to, not because my parents wanted me to. My dad is a principal and mom is a middle school counselor, so acting was like, Eh, whatever. As long as you get good grades. It’s really fun, and nothing more Picture Quote #1

I knew I wanted to be an actress, but I hadn’t ever really told anyone. I’d always got quite good grades, so people assumed I would go and do a ‘normal’ job. My dad took me to my first audition for drama school and picked me up without anyone knowing, really Picture Quote #1

I was very academically inclined. But my inner life was in such turmoil. I’d go home and my home life was so miserable that it just felt like I was doing everything that I was supposed to do. I did all my chores, made really good grades, and I was excelling at school, but I wasn’t happy Picture Quote #1

I’ve always felt that maybe one of the reasons that I did well as a student and made such good grades was because I lacked ... self-confidence, and I never felt that I was prepared to take an examination, and I had to study a little bit extra. So that sort of lack of confidence helped me, I think, to make a good record when I was a student Picture Quote #1

My mom was always keen I stayed in school and got good grades, and she was always keen for me to do medicine. I used to go to drama classes when I was younger, and she would always take me. But when I got to an age when I decided it was what I wanted to do, when she accepted it, she had actually been the most supportive person ever Picture Quote #1

My parents were supportive. I didn’t have good grades, but they could tell I wasn’t lazy Picture Quote #1

Logically, you should go to school, get good grades, go to college, get a good degree, go into the workplace, then work hard and be happy. The only problem is that happiness isn’t logical Picture Quote #1

That’s what I wanted! I wanted to be an athlete , I wanted the girls to like me, and I wanted to be able to get good grades in school, and this man said I could do all that Picture Quote #1

As my mom says, I was a little bit of a slacker in high school. I really was just kind of unmotivated, a little bit lazy, so my grades weren’t that good Picture Quote #1

When students cheat on exams, it’s because our school system values grades more than students value learning Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t a great student. Just give me a school with no grades, and I’ll be happy Picture Quote #1
