HO HO HOPE you become a Newgrounds Supporter this year!
We're working hard to give you the best site possible, but we have bills to pay and community support is vital to keep things going and growing. Thank you for considering!
I rarely did homework or studied back in school and yet I still graduated all the way to the very end of highschool. Like mostly Cs and Ds.
Point is was ANY of that even worth it? I mean even if I did get good grades all those years ago I doubt would end up any different.
School is mainly about attendance.
And not to any benefit if the student.
If the system can prove you are there.
It means more funding for the school and and staff.
I'm not sure really. I'm going to 8th and I mean it matters if you wanna go to the next grade but on the job? I dunno

I had all the credits I needed to graduate highschool before even starting my senior year.
(I did summer school to get ahead every year)
Much to my dismay, I couldn't graduate early because I still had to take two required courses.
I had even applied for colleges and everything.
I basically got ripped off of an early graduation.
So I just fucked around my senior year. Never did any schoolwork for anything but the two required courses... and even in those classes I needed to pass... i calculated it perfectly to just put in the bare minimum effort needed.
My GPA was a .776 when I graduated.
Even though I had applied to two colleges and was accepted, my gf at the time ended up going to to Purdue University Lafayette, a college I did not apply for.
So, I applied to Purdue University Calumet (community college) and figured I'd just transfer next semester.
...and Purdue Calumet honestly did not give two shits about the GPA I had when I graduated.

i mostly worked hard on getting good grades because my work ethic on them was pretty much the most productive i would be doing for a while so i did it. its also cause of my parents expectations on my grades (like even a B grade they jokingly would say "wheres the A for this one?") and that i also kinda wanted to do some of the assignments themselves. if school taught me shit then you best believe i worked my ass off to make somethng useful out of it, whether its assigning to life skill classes based around renting or buying homes or straight up just asking my geology teacher a few times to talk about the stock market and how it works

By now I maintain these, and I can say with certainty that no one gives a fuck.
If I should ever vanish without a trace, assume until proven otherwise that olskoo banned me due to penis envy.

No, but boy, wouldn't it be nice if it did? "Oh, you have a 3.7 GPA, very good! Here's your well paying and sustainable job opportunity in the area you've proven yourself to be capable on! Don't worry, there's so much job to do it'll be impossible for the employers to skip out on you!"

Wow that is a REALLY based thing to say
Short answer: No.
Longer answer: Even if you went to college, you would just be able to get into a community college where you could start over and start giving a fuck in classes that you actually care to take. Therefore, you can pass high school with the least amount of work done and lowest grades possible and still move on with your life.
Ignore this signature.
Nobody gives a shit whether you were in honors classes or not. AP classes do count towards some college credits though.
Good grades in high school only matter if you want to go to college.
Good grades in college only matter if you want to do post-grad.
Once you are out of school, no one cares what grades you got in high school or college. It is simply whether you graduated or not.

Some jobs (e.g. investment banking) have minimum GPA requirements for recruitment purposes.
Other positions may not be explicit GPA requirements but sometimes they do look at your grades, especially if you don't have relevant work experience and you should be prepared to explain it in interviews if you have poor grades.

After graduating high school, I had to take entrance exams regardless so I would say it didn't really matter too much what grades I got, as long as I knew enough to pass the exam.
Although I guess it technically did matter in a way, because one of the criteria of being eligible to take the entrance exam was to score a minimum grade in certain subjects...

You might be a bit shocked to find out that certain companies, when hiring at my university in India, were using grades achieved in high school as a filter simply due to the large number of candidates who were applying...
But yes, on the whole they don't matter outside of such ridiculous situations.

And then you get a bachelors degree and a masters degree and use neither of them, making more money hourly working in the service industry 💀💀 ahh life
Grades don’t matter. they didn’t matter before, and they never will.

If you want to do a PhD, having publications in good journals and good reference letters matter more than just grades.
nope. but then again i was never a straight As student funded by millionaire parents , so i wouldn't know.

I dont think Fortune 500 companies or anything dealing with computer programming,wants peopel with GPAs below 2.0...so you're wrong about good grades not mattering in college
Like most people fuck no getting good grades is not worth it at all, once graduated nobody cares about grades.
quick story I ended up postponing my personal work for school which includes some of the stories that I was writing until I just stop somewhere around 10th grade(worst mistake I've ever made now I'm regretting it, but currently recovering after the damage that the school system did to me) but in general yeah good grades does not matter once graduated.
Pfft hate won't hurt me
Ive mostly had C's or B's i've gotten one A in my life
