I managed to graduate by the sympathy of my teachers because they knew I was dumb as shit and would amount to nothing anyway. I think I finished 5th from the bottom in my entire grade as far as GPA goes.

How does this work? I'm asking because this happened to me a lot in School. In 10th grade all signs pointed towards me failing Algebra again, but my math teacher just gave me a D. Funny enough, I vividly remember my final semester report card for 8th grade listing F as my grade for math, but the F was crossed out with red ink and replaced with a D. It looked silly because the report card was a print.

Does this not raise red flags for teachers? Are they just allowed to be flexible?

Too scared to go to school.

My mom was a fucking bitch back then and drove me there by force. She would cry when I had panic attacks on the way there.

Teachers have a ton of leeway with how they do things in any school or college. They often bump up the grades of kids they like and vice versa.

In my case I think they saw how miserable I was and how I had already failed their class in the past. Probably thought if I failed enough I'd kill myself or end up bringing a gun to school and didn't want that on their conscience.

I don't really remember ever doing homework in highschool. The motivation just wasn't there.

What's the point of the School system if kids can just exploit it by being shitty but
"trying their best?"

I was so garbage at Math but I knew if I just went to as many tutor sessions and lunch/after school homework sessions as possible, my teachers would probably take pity on me. It worked for the most part too, until I had my Algebra 2 teacher, fucker forced me to take a summer class. At least I never had to take Calculus in High School because Algebra 2 was my Senior class, thank god for that.

"Tech Math" was the last math I had to take. It was basically "Math for kids that are too dumb for geometry or algebra 2"

It was the kind of class where the teacher told you the problems to do in the book then at the end of class she'd read out the answers and "worked over" each one, took up the papers and graded them.

Not bad since I would often get the teachers that tried their hardest to humiliate you in front of the class to see how much you could take.

I was too emotionally mature for that high school stupidity. I had the mind of a grown man and I was in a place full of stupid kids.

I can't write assignments for shit, I don't write enough because my writing style is very to the point and one got rejected yesterday for it. I have to do them at home too, when I'd rather be on the internet and I end up doing nothing. I also like to keep home and college as separate things.

Dropped out of college because my parents ran into some bullshit financial trouble and I had to work a full time and part time job to help them out.

They still feel very guilty over it but I tell them that it was my decision to make and I would have still done it no matter what.

High School: Lack of challenge lead to existential crisis. Just kinda stopped going and nobody could figure out how motivate me so I was left alone. Went full blown hikkikomori.

College: Haven't yet but those old feelings are coming back and I often think about it. Only thing that drives me is a desire to influence this world in some way. I've learned a great deal and do exceptionally well. I don't think I'll be able to sway myself into dropping out.

I think they're not used to kids trying to understand something they aren't good at. Most of those who can't do something seem to either drop the course or accept that they're shit and try for the lowest passing grade.

Dropped out of high school despite having a lot 'friends', to this day I'm not sure whether they're making fun of me or being honestly friendly, probably mixture of both.

I'd skip my classes even in middle school, a lot of them, barely graduated because of that; teachers really didn't give a shit because I'd get decent marks anyway.
In high school, for some reason, I couldn't learn anything. Every single thing became to hard, sitting in front of a book for 6 hours straight and trying to read it had no effects, maybe it was a lack of sleep or something; no idea. I'd get the minimal grade needed to pass after hours and hours of studying, I lost motivation completely and never went to school again.
What followed this, you don't want to hear that story, it's not only awkward and stupid but also very long.

Now after some years I'm back in the high school (for adults, there are no GEDs, I'm not murrikan) and today I skipped a class.

The other class I got a D in was Geometry. The teacher was boring and I didn't feel like paying attention. No one else paid attention either.
