Have you ever barely passed a(n) paper, class, or objective? Me: I just barely passed an english paper in one of my two english classes (11A and 12A), I passed the 12A paper with a 68. I'm in 11th grade, :P. I'm soooo sad.
My standard classes go by the 59-0 grading scale, and my advanced classes have a 69-0 scale. Even by then, the teachers would recommend either bumping you down or removing you from advanced classes if you are barely passing it.
Same here.
So far in my high school career i have failed:
1 Semester survey of lit 1 Sem Biology 1 Sem American Lit and maybe something else, don't remember.
I have come close to failing:
Too many to count, don't give a shit enough to remember.
i have a 2.8 GPA and it's not gettin bunches higher but it's done so eh.
I'm going to have to come clean and say the same, but it is only because my teacher's style of teaching was skewed off to a "organization principle" and questionable at best. You were graded in that class for keeping your stuff. Even graded assignments that literally had no more value to it other than showing to your parents what grade you got. The tests I could understand. After all, it contains the questions and the answers to them and the ones that you got wrong. She even marked off to the side what the actual answer was. THIS is useful, since you could study these for the final, but assignments??
It's not that she was a bad teacher, she was actually good at explaining Biology. We even had a strappin'-good fun time at debating Evolution vs. Creation. It's just that I didn't agree with this one style of how she graded.
Spanish is literally the easiest language in the world to learn. If you compare it to English, it's actually very simple. Be lucky you speak English, because it's said to be one of the hardest to learn in the world!
Not really, there are much harder languages.
And the grading system I have is a bit different, so I'm not sure what a "fail" under your standards would be.

ME TOO!!!! She's the most uppity slut about keeping a binder of EVERYTHING EVER in it. I was happy to fail that class, SO WORTH SUMMER SCHOOL.
The latest poll I've seen was that Japanese was the easiest language to learn, whilst English was the hardest. What they did was take people from many different nationalities and had them under the same conditions to learn these languages. Being fluent in Japanese took the shortest, and English was the longest.
Reason being:
Japanese may have characters and 4 forms of it and it may seem confusing to those that use letters, but each character represents one syllable. These syllables join together to form one word. The majority of the Japanese words only require 2-5 characters! English has so many silent letters, homonyms, synonyms, not to mention many different ways of structuring a sentence that to those of different linguistic societies, it is difficult to be fluent in it.

I was choking when I read that, but what you mentioned later on was something I am in complete agreement with. English is probably the hardest to learn of all other languages due to inclusion of synonyms, homonyms, clauses etc.
I reckon that languages are probably the toughest subjects to "grace" this world. Although, you have to face the harsh reality that without a language the humans would still be rock throwing chimpanzees.
Close but no cigar. Darn, thought we were in the same county or school lol

Meh, it's debatable. The general reason why Japanese is so easy is because what you pronounce is what you also write down. The same cannot be said for English, which is why it's harder. However, while English only has 26 letters to memorize, Japanese has characters and syllables to memorize, not to mention 4 sets of characters with the same syllable sounds to boot. That's the 90% of total hardness in that language lol
