Oh wow. I'm so glad my parents are not psycho about my grades....well then again, I've always done fairly well in school and stuff. In fact I used to be nuts about my grades when I was younger and if I got even a B I would burst out in tears. Heh heh, then I grew wiser and learned that school isn't everything there is in life and that there are so many more fufilling things to do (i.e.- making friends, falling in love, watching anime [hee hee, which is the same thing as falling in love......] ) So nowadays I make sure I still get decent grades AND have a life outside of school, which my parents respect, and I'm eternally grateful for that.
And about the teacher issue, I've learned that it's really hit and miss, and that some years you get good teachers and others you get bad teachers. However I found it is a great idea to be nice to them, good or evil. Like my chemistry teacher for instance..... (oooh, mean and evil!) :devil:
