Just in case anyone was wondering about phys ed in the People's Republic of Cambridge, I'm pretty sure my gym classes were pass/fail.

Thrive to spite them
The grades are probably weighted so that AP Classes and the like are worth more than regular classes.
This was sort of an issue my senior year. Other classes had weighted grades (I think that's the right term) so that AP English counts as more than an regular English class and AP Chemistry counts more than a basic biology classes.
My school did not do that. One students AP Chemistry counted the same as my basic biology class or their AP Trig 9(or whatever math class) counted the same as my geometry class.
This became an issue because the student ranked 3rd in the class did not have any AP or Advanced classes. She was just in regular classes and got good grades. But I kinda knew her and I knew she worked hard for her grades, she just wan't as the same level.
The people ranked under her that took more advanced classes were pissed off.

My gym classes had a grade. I was happy to get a B.
Sophia, often now classes are weighted for honors or AP or whatever.

I violated one of my rules and looked at the comments on a Yahoo story re; health care. To my surprise, the comments and upvotes are trending toward approval. There are the usual tea party trolls, but they're ratings are skewing down. There's possibly hope for the world.

Our wings are not tired.
Sophia, my high school gave numbered grades higher than 4.0 for the AP classes.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

It keeps getting hotter in here. If current trends continue, in a day I'll probably burst into flames.
I am so glad to be flying to California tomorrow.

This still chaps my ass. My GPA would have so much higher.
