well the grading scale I grew up with they said I had learning problems and put me in special ed because I 'wasn't up to snuff'
They split you up in terms of grade wise
A classes: the smart kids
B classes: the normal kids
C classes: the dumb kids
I was always in the 'C' classes and the teachers in middle school/high school don't care about the 'C' class students. So I was getting shafted.
In 4th grade when I took the yearly state standardized tests to see how smart we are, the state responded saying I wasn't even employable at McDonalds.
