My grades were fairly bad in school as I found the school work boring. Nevertheless, despite my bad grades I was still treated as the class "genius".

I get mostly 9 or 8 from my tests and my grades are about the same, i guess there was one 10 as well

top of the class from beginning to the end of my university terms.
which sucked because while other people got rewarded for doing well it was just expected of me.
and the AP and Honors classes were just more workload. not really anything new.

thought about failing on purpose but my folks would have tossed me in a foster home and I probably would have gotten molested or something.

and of course came with it the expectations of me being a doctor or an attorney because of it.
and in the end it did not pay off crap because this weak job I have can be done by a six year old who failed kindergarten.

I could have dropped out and made more money.

Until my first year of highschool, grades stayed above average. (As and Bs)
During highschool, it was about average (As Bs and C)
Now (College) A bit below average (maybe 1 A, some Bs and Cs)

Always managed to do pretty well despite my lack of interest and lack of effort. I passed exams that I never bothered revising for. I always hated school.

My grades were high when I was in elementary school. I absolutely hated middle school and my grades were average. I gave up by the time I entered high school. My grades were awful because I never did my work, resulting in me failing the ninth grade. I dropped out of school the next year when I realized I was an abject failure and would never be able to make up all of the credits I needed to graduate on time.
