Lowest Average You Ever Got?

Not an avergae, but my stuffy, uptight sophomore English teacher expected a bunch of 15 year olds to read Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. Being a good student, I actually tried to read the piece of crap, but could never get very far. I got a 47 on the test, and I couldn't have been the only one to fail miserably b/c she chewed the entire class out, even mentioning that the class did much worse on questions that weren't in the movie version. She was a really good teacher outside of that one incident. Hope she learned her lesson.

I almost didn't graduate HS because I failed the final semester of gym. Well, I bet I have a lower BMI than most of my classmates who passed that gym class now have. So I win, or something.  Oh yeah, we had a 200 question gym final. WTF?

You had gym all through high school?

I had 3 quarters of gym in all of high school and only 2 of them were required.

In the 70's MN required gym throughout HS. We could select from a number of different electives, but the teachers graded on performance more than effort. I wasn't very athletic at that time, so there went my HS GPA.

Very strange. In high school, we had one semester of health and one of gym, though technicaly it was a year long class called lifetime wellness. The gym grade was exclusively a function of how consistently you changed into the school tshirt/gym shorts.
