...I don't get it. Sorry for posting this. I'm more confused than I am sorry though, so I'm posting it anyway.

It says you suck at language and should become a doctor.

Sounds like they need classes in evaluating learning and understanding report cards.

Why aren't there classes in "how to find information" "how to ask good questions" "how to create a meaningful report card"?

Did you learn much in the classes? What's your evaluation of the classes and your performance in them?

I've always never understood why "participation" can be considered a form of grading. I know of one teacher who considers just coming to class as participation, while another wants a certain amount of "hand-raising" and another wants you to practically give input for every single comment.

Or preparedness?. Do I really need a binder I won't use? or a specific notebook when any will do? Or how many types of pens and what type? And what logic lies behind the reason to grade it? I despised notebook checks, binder checks and even note checks. One teacher I had decided that he decided my notes weren't enough to teach me and gave me a low grade and told me to make my notes look like another student's whose notes he liked.

Darn, even the rebels are getting better grades than I am.

In Language Arts, the teacher handed out too much work, and didn't give a fuck about the things I worked hard on. She only gave a fuck about the things I didn't work as hard on.

In Social Studies, the teacher got pissed at me because I didn't do much. But if we had more written or individual work instead of always putting us in groups or having us discuss, I would have done a lot more. I get that we have to work in groups sometimes but all the time was overkill.

In Math, the teacher hated me. She would yell at me for not trying hard enough. Math is really hard for me, even though some people tutor me. But it started to make a little more sense to me after a while and I improved. But she still yells at me.

Science was easy. All we did was current events and vocabulary stuff. Piece of cake.

Spanish was hard and I sucked at it. I had to do tons of extra credit...

Health was easy. All we did was watch movies.

Shows you don't need to be a well-behaved, prepared, active learner to do well at math.
