silverdonut · « **Reply #527 on:** December 16, 2003, 01:53:20 PM »

I get $1,000 dollars for all "A's". Yes, lucky I know. Guess it pays off living in a family that grounds you for an "A-". I guess they just want me to succeed in life.

And cheers 69 alot of people here ar 13-19 ( mostly ). I am 14 ...and why is it so bad to get $5 for school grades.

P.S - When does Harvest Moon a wonderful Life come out in Australia . I saw that on the C-E forums that it comes out Feb 26th ....earlier than the US.

Yep I'm serious. My great aunt gives it to me all by herself. She calls me the son she never had. (she never had any kids, see.) So yeah, I guess my house isn't that bad.

akdaman1 · « **Reply #530 on:** December 16, 2003, 04:51:52 PM »

My aunties sorta like that as well...she always says that she loves me more than her own sons.

She even sat down with my dad and told him that she loves me more then him ( her brother )...LOL.

She loves me cause I am always calling her and comin over to her home. My mum and her are always fighting ..they havent spoken to eacxh other in 3 years.

Berto2K · « **Reply #531 on:** December 16, 2003, 05:32:51 PM »

I am 23, and was never given money for grades. Once in a rare time, I would get a small congradulatory gift, but never money from anyone. You guys are lucky.

As far as I know the game is scheduled to come out in the US on January 4, 2004. At least this is the date that has been hanging around for a while now.

I neve got money for good grades, but when I was younger, like when before I turned 9, I would be allowed to make brownies if I did good in school. I love brownies, yummy. Which reminds me, my Mom made a whole lot of fudge last night, very good tasty delicious fudge. Too bad none of ya'll can have any, as you all don't live close enough and it will all be gone shortly anyways.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #533 on:** December 17, 2003, 04:59:24 AM »

No money for me either, usually. They expect me to get good grades, so there are hardly ever any awards involved.

In our area the school district has redone the grading system so it's not possible to get A's, B's...etc. They grade the kids on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being the highest. The thing about it that's really stupid is that the grade is based on how much they know of the entire year's curriculum. So basically they say, by the end of 3rd grade the kids should know this much. Then they are graded by how close they are to that goal. So, it's impossible to have a high grade when the first report cards come home.

Since I can't really monitor his grades since they don't have any, I monitor my son on a weekly basis. The teacher sends home a weekly progress note that lets parents know if they behaved well, did all their in class work, etc. He gets no monetary rewards, just praise. And his video games activity is dependant upon keeping up in class. Recently, he seriously procrastinated on a report he was to be working on. I took games away for about a week until he caught up.

"And his video games activity is dependant upon keeping up in class."

It was the same for me...Good moms think alike...

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #536 on:** December 17, 2003, 05:16:31 AM »

Weird grading scale. . . and I thought ours here (100-94 A, 93-87 B, 86-78 C, 77-65 D, 64- F) was bad. . .

Man, you don't even have to have a life. Just go to school forever and you've got it made.

The grade scale you mention is what I've always known too. The district my son is in just changed to this horrible new system 2 years ago. I honestly don't know what they are thinking with this.

akdaman1 · « **Reply #538 on:** December 17, 2003, 09:24:15 AM »

Holy Cow!!! Are you serious ? 64 was a fail...? Down here 64 is a C or C+.

Anyway Harvest Moon was actually delayed in the US untill March 4th. And now Nintendo just released some more European release dates ...Harvest Moon is said to come out Feb 15th according to gamecubenetwork.com .

I will find out the release date later...I will ring Nintendo.

At my school below a 70 is failing.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #540 on:** December 17, 2003, 10:39:03 AM »

=O

You guys got it tough! Here it's:

90-100 = A
80-89 = B
70-79 = C
60-69 = D
Below 60 = F
(there are "+'s" and "-'s")

nice and simple.

akdaman1 · « **Reply #541 on:** December 17, 2003, 10:49:47 AM »

Here at my school ..below 20 is a UG. We also have E's ...But my school is really hard.

Mario · « **Reply #542 on:** December 17, 2003, 12:10:16 PM »

Geez, here's the one i go by

100-50 = Pass
50-0 = Fail

and i still failed...

krisdfish · « **Reply #543 on:** December 17, 2003, 12:25:46 PM »

Really? My school is way weird.

93-100 A
86-92 B
85-78 C
77-71 D
70+below F

So we've got it weird to. I don't think many Aussie schools have it that way. My friends that go to other schools in Australia don't. So hmm, don't know.

I get paid for grades this way:

A=$10
B=$8
C=$6
D=$0
F= they take away money -$

So if I get all A's I get 70 bucks. And that's only from my parents.

My grandparents:
A=$10
B=$7
C=$4
D=$0
F=$0 (they don't deduct from me

)

And from my fav. aunt and uncle:
A=$20
B=$10
C=$0
D=$0
F=$0

And the rest of my family gives me only about $5 for everything put together.

And that's only for a trimester, which means all that 3 times a year.

MONEY MONEY!!!

And I usually get all "A's" most of the time. Once in a while I get a "b" or "b+or-" I've never gotten a C in a subject my entire life.

Videogames are my life, so I have to keep my grades up in order to be able to play them.

CardBoardBox · « **Reply #544 on:** December 17, 2003, 12:46:42 PM »

Poor mario...you probably just dont try hard enough

My aunt and uncle? Yes, they do, but my parents pay their children for their grades and viceversa.

I'm sick from heat exhaustion

I had to walk my dog at like lunchtime yesterday cause my mum gave him a bath and walking him would dry him off. It was a sunny, cloudless day, around 27 degrees - Mario would know. I come home, i'm so tired. Then we had to go out looking for furniture. Just being in the car with the sun on my legs made me even more tired. And I just collapsed on the bed, and i've been in bed ever since. I haven't eaten anything since yesterday either.

Cya later.

Jesus, if you can pull funny crap like that all the time you can fail all you want. . . that had me on the frikkin floor laughing.

Below 50 in VERY SUBJECT?! God.....you suck.

Tee-hee....today, my basketball coach actually said to me "stop being such a nerd."

I was laughing inside saying "you don't want to know the REAL me" To infinity and beyond!!!

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #549 on:** December 17, 2003, 03:29:59 PM »

You should of got a handy mega phone and yelled 'Stop putting others down because you're too mentally challenged to understand technology' at him. *Thumbs up*

Poor Termin8.

Yesterday was TERRIBLE, heat-wise. Lucky I spent most of yesterday playing Turtles in Time and bowling like an idiot at the RAD bowling center. Today's not much better, either. Lousy Summer.
