Taking good classes makes up for lackluster grades.

How hard is your schedule?

United States
Classical five-point discrete evaluation is the system most commonly used in the United States, but there are many variations. There are also a few schools that eschew discrete evaluation (letter grading) in favor of pure discursive evaluation.
Here is a common example of an American quality index, showing letter grade, qualitative definition, and correlative quantitative value:
A = Excellent or Superior; or top 10% (90 to 100) = 4.0
B = Above Average; or second 10% (80-89) = 3.0
C = Average; or third 10% (70-79) = 2.0
D = Below average, minimum passing grade (60-69); or fourth 10% = 1.0
E/F (or any of a number of other symbols) = Failure or Exceptionally Poor; or bottom 60% (0-59) = 0.0

Gee, thanks for explaining what I already know...

The average grades kids get, at least around here, is not a C though. Therefore, a C is not average

Well whatever, why shouldn't he be disappointed in an average grade? I mean it's better than academic probation, but it doesn't look great in comparison with other college-bound students unless it comes in a challenging course.

Yes.  I took too little classes so when I failed too it brought my GPA .04 too low.

I skipped English 5 times and failed because of that. I didn't do my quizzes in calc because they required IE and when I did go try to do them with my PC the site wouldn't work.

I think I finished the semester with a 3.8, which is what I've had for the last two years. The lowest grade was a B in New Testament, but I don't consider that a real class.

Because I don't feel like dressing out
Because I might not wear one certain thing on some days that people would notice when I dress out
Because I'm too busy watching other people changing
Because the coaches don't like my shoes
Because the extra time to change back often makes me late to my next class
