The only time I've received really bad marks was when I was in year 11 & 12, I chose to do Food Technology for a main subject because I thought it would be a pussy-fest in class (turns out I wasn't the only one thinking that and it turned into abit of a sausage-fest).
About three quarters into year 11 I was constantly flirting with another chick in the class who was seen as one of the like 'top students' (same chick who sent me the SMS in the exam and I had a half naked photo of her as my wallpaper and a couple of the teachers saw including the food tech one -- posted on RZ before) of the course, in class we would always be talking to each other and we jigged a couple of classes etc and the Food tech teacher caught wind of it pretty quickly, we eventually started going out officially and then a couple of months later we broke up and I never sat next to her again, and eventually the food tech teacher probably caught wind of it as well, so she'd always give me the **** jobs in the kitchen like cleaning up, preparing the ****, keeping an eye on the stuff in the microwave, same with the salamander and **** like that. Day after day it was and so I just said **** it, I had no problem with the theory side of the course just the problems with her on the physically cooking side), anyway it was near Christmas time and we coke to make a fruit cake, and instead of taking it home we had a food fight where we sat and it eventually led back to me that it was my cake that was being thrown around. I got sent to the AP's office and sat around the table and I was just like **** it I just don't care any more (didn't say those words but my attitude towards the food tech course was that from then on), I got suspended from the physical side of for about 2 and half terms until parent-teacher interviews came around and during this time I had to get an interview with my Dad and the food tech teacher, she acted all nice like they do in front of the parents like they usually do and then she asked me if I was ready to come back into the practical side of the course, and I said I couldn't care less, my dad excused my attitude and she went all grumpy through the rest of the talk. I was told that I could come back into the practical side of the course after that but I didn't show up for any and the teacher marked me down for it, even though I got **** scores like C's on my assignments I was still getting laters 80's to early 90's in the test, every test we did I got over over 85+ (lowest was 87 I believe), it just didn't add up, I was getting **** all for the classwork and constantly getting late 80's to early 90's even though I supposedly was a disruption in class and I never did my work -- reminds me that the food tech teacher also tried to kick me out of the course because of my I wasn't putting in enough effort, it never happened because I didn't want to do anything else I was already doing Legal Studies, and PDHPE and the AP and year coordinator I didn't want to do science or anything like that and by the last year it was too late to change and couldn't drop the subject (would of had 9 units -- 10 needed).
Anyway finished school, passed everything, food tech dragged me down abit because of the classwork factor and non-practical factor aswell, ended up coming in the top 10 legal studies form, and the coming like in the top 30 for PDHPE.
My younger brother Josh also graduated 2 years early, same reason.
