Does your parents want you to get straight A's?

[Jhi-Jhi]

my parents really want me to get good grades.
&&when i was younger i really pushed myself to meet their expectations but then i realized that no matter how good i did it wasn`t good enough. so i gave up&&since then i just did enough work to get byy.
but now i know it`s really important to get good grades in school. &&i understand why my parents always wanted me to do greattt. &&now they don`t care about my grades. but i do&&i`m pushing myself to get straight a`s until i graduate&&even in college. i`m completely focusing on school.

I'm my parents' last hope I guess, well that's how I see it. My older brothers have no clue what to do with their future, so they're pretty much goin' to college and stuf, part time job...but never leaving home. One brother went to Davis for a semester...then came back...-_-;; Eghhh...hate the pressure, they won't talk about how I'm the only one left, but I can feel it in their eyes...and their voice when they yell at me for getting a B when my brothers both got C's before...

My parents "expect" me to get straight A's, and are "dissapointed" when I get a B on a test or something. It SUCKS! Grrr  

[Tetsusu]

my parents never did anything
i mean when i was in highschool they dont have time to come on parent/teacher meeting
and nope never nothing

good in math.. sitting before my match teacher, we always figthing and argu about things.. and making comment all the time about his bald head and all.. and nope it is funny cus he wont send me out the class even i make really really bad comment.. we have all the fun..
cus my math teacher is lil strict stressed but he is actually very nice ( his is my fav teacher beside my gym teacher, after that chemistry, science, physics)
and at chemistry class when the teacher was gone for 5 minutes i turn the gass on in the class and light it up.. for 5 second, almost creat a fire in class, when he was back he said is it me or is it hot here he said. and i said .. did you just met somebody that turn you on to the teacher and he blush the whole class crack in the laugh rofl
at gym i almost collapse xp cus i overwork to much and break the record without doing the last 3 activity of the 13 in tottal ( running test, lifting weight, speed running.. jump far, high jumping and other)
the teacher( it is she, and sexy one to)maybe it is my way to getting her attentions LOL jk
cus i love gym always put the most effort in it. that day when i almost collapse, she was worried and the whole class was surpriced cus i break the record with out the last 3 test. the test was done in group of 3 ppl.. they back me up of not cheating.. but gladly the teacher believe me

on yeah on english and other lauguage classes.. i always talk in the class
and always never stop making comment and jokes
one day i talk in the class.. and then my classmate talk to .. and the teacher, she said.. will you stop talking/ be quiets or there is the door.. with raised voice to him.. the whole class is kinda intimitated..
he said.. about me.. that i talk all the time in the class and all
she said.. well he (me) didnot talk when i explain something important.. and he already done his homework for this week and the essay for the next week.. what about you...????
that is what she said.. the whole class looking/ staring at me.. i put my face in the books and look away.. while my classmate blushes

and woodshop ormaking craftmanship thing.. yes i am good with my hands.. other class mate ask my help all the time, but the teacher forbid it, cus it only make their grade higher than they deserve
once he said, if somebody is trustworth that will be *he point it at me*
i didnot now.. so i ask my friends..

and the teacher only tell me.. calm down to me

[ghetto_jedi]

She wants me to try my best (only A's and B's) But if I HAD strait A's. She'd love me and buy me a gift.  

[Koi_Kanbi_Tenshi]

my okasan doesnt care if its a c or above shes fine

 

[spoon9987]

Well...my parents don't "push" me...but they'd be disappointed if i didn't get good grades. Still...for what i want to do later i NEED straight A's *cries* oh well...what can i say, i'm a nerd =P  

[fireystar]

My parents just tell me to do my best but I have straight A's anyway. Because asians are SMART!  

[lady_luv18]

don't most parents wish their children got straight A's  

[kyina]

Some parents don't really care, but my parents definitely do. Now enjoy this little scene thing that happened these past days. =]

[Scene: report card comes home, I get all A's and A-'s. But I get some B's/B+'s on the finals]

Day 1
Mom: YAY you got all A's!!!
[pause]
But what about the finals??!?! What happened!??!

Day 2
Mom: YOU GOT A B+ ON YOUR CHEM FINAL?!?!? [ignoring the fact that I still got an A final avg] HOW ARE YOU GOING TO BECOME A DOCTOR [ah, so Asian] WITH A B+ ON YOUR CHEM FINAL?!?! YOU GOTTA IMPROVE YOUR GRADES!!!!

[me: ahem.]  

[SUMMERT!ME]

They don't "force" me to, but every time we're watching a movie or something and something happens that relates to grades/stuff in your future, they give me long speeches about why it's so important to do well in school. They're really annoying. neutral  

[Anh-chan]

Yup.

One of our previous conversation went like this:

Me: I got straight 100's
Mom: *stares at report card* Couldn't you do better?
Me: whaaa...  

[crystylaquazz]

my parents dont push me to get good grades, probably because i get straight A's anyway. I am an idiotic overachiever.
