Failed with a 57 (3 marks away from a pass)

peaveyuser · #1 09-02-2008, 10:40 PM

a waste of thread maybe but i thought this fail pic was amusing that my friend had as an idea. 57 is the mark you get when they won't even boost you up to a pass, a 60. 59 they do, 58 they do but not a 57 . So now because of those 3 marks I do not have my high school diploma and have to take an extra French course before college.

The end mark in this pic is an average for all of the french courses above.

In other words this is a fail pic thread, because I'm guessing this OP will fail so hard

I don't know what's worse.
The fact you almost passed french, or the fact you live in a French Speaking province and STILL failed.

Man, your education system sucks then. At my school district, you pass with a 50, if you get a 48 or 49 the teachers may or may not give you a pity pass. We also have a credit recovery course, the school takes a look at thecourse that you failed, find your weak spots and then let you take those certain sections over again.

i have always had trouble with languages and I lived in Toronto until I was 11.

the education here sucks too, 33 people to 1 teacher in my previous French class.

stupid OP, no point in this

MakiSupaStar · #6 09-02-2008, 10:58 PM

Wow. I don't know which is worse. Stepping in dog poop or opening this lame thread. There's a genius kid in mark wilsons wimpy little brother thread that you could learn a lesson from.

cegep can and probably will be even worse my friend
even more people in some cases, in a classroom that can barely fit half that amount

are you going to english or french cegep?

KeithBMI · #8 09-02-2008, 11:01 PM

I feel like I should contribute some words of wisdom.

I received my high school diploma on the first try.

Goodnight.

Hey, hey take it easy, it's not as if the French are making fart noises when you try to study as to disturb you. The secret to learning any language is dead easy (and hastily implented to boot, since you live in freaking Montreal where finding French speaking people ain't rocket science):

a) Study + watch French TV. Even easier when you watch overdubs of films you've already watched.
b) Go to a restaurant, museum, chess club and talk with the people there. In French.
c) Rinse and repeat until you're bilingual.

Worked for me for English and I'm downright terrible when it comes to learning a new language. I failed at German more times than I care to remember because I wasn't getting enoug exposure to it for my stupid brain to process the lessons.

Vanier in music or a History course in Dawson.

I enjoy both.

I live in West Island BTW, there aren't many french anywhere here, I'm understanding the language better but its just you guys speak too fast I can't understand it unless its clear.

Reading as you saw is my biggest flaw, i literally just can't get it.

And I want to learn the language but not like this, in school I just want to PASS this stupid course. I'm kind of embarrassed to be honest, at work when some french kid asks me something and i can't answer him

BTW I have proven to every teacher and person I have had, that I can not learn this language. There is something wrong there I dunno but i can't do it. i know barely anymore then i did 3 years ago. I think I just simply can't focus on something like french.

You are mistaken on two counts. First you believe you have a reputation to uphold, and second, you obviously mistook us for people who care.

great point.

jeese I think tb is the perfect preportion of ***holes and nice people.

Herrlster · #19 09-02-2008, 11:18 PM

33 to 1 teacher is pretty common in my school. And pretty much the only people who fail are the ones who miss a lot of school and/or don't do the work.

Last semester I missed 40 days of school but I managed to pass with 70's - 90's. Maybe you should take an easier French course this time around?

GeneralElectric · #20 09-02-2008, 11:19 PM

If it makes you feel better, you failed reading and listening too. I don't think it was just your French holding you back.

At my High School you needed a 65 to pass a class, so don't complain.

Take this as a proverbial kick in the ass that you need to focus more on your studies if you want to succeed in college and that your current work ethic just isn't working.
