    Sounds like you're having a philosophical crisis
    Good is doing the best you can do, for some people that's an A others it's a C
    Just try your best :)

    Ya I know but good has to be better than my sisters, good has to be better than my friends, good has to be better than the people the slow classes, good has to be what the teachers who have told me what they are expecting of me in their subject and better than the ones who think I'm slow cause I'm only getting Bs in their class.

    OK ComputerKing you're getting close to trolling here.
    'Slow classes' indeed.
    Please do not make remarks in this forum regarding people and the levels they are doing in exams. This is the second thread you have done it in.

    You won't get far in life with that attitude, everything isn't a competition

    Can someone please give me some form of reassurance, I know most of you say P1 in Maths was a "piece of cake", but I honestly think I didn't do too well in it?

    I'm not remarking on levels most of the slow classes are doing honours with a small few doing maybe at most 1/2 ordinary.

    Secondly yes they are slow classes I go to a school where classes are streamed in order of ability. You have one top top class you have second top class and you have 3 bottom or slow classes. Don't complain for calling them slow classes they are openly called this by students and staff and the students in them accept this.

    Also its PC gone made where you can't make a comment on someone's intelligence some people are smart some people are not its time people finally accepted this and finally we can then stop the dumbing down of our education system so that everybody thinks there little Johnny is smart.

    In the mocks, I though I got a low C in Maths P1 but I actually got 73% even though there was loads of questions I didn't get at all.
    I wouldn't worry about it too much. :)

    There's no need to call them slow classes, that's offensive. Call them ordinary of just simply lower classes instead.

    ComputerKing, I'll let your remarks stand by themselves, I think.

    Just remember, even if you think you are intelligent, maybe even more intelligent than the people in the 'slow' classes, there are always plenty more people more intelligent than you out there.

    OK so I can tell that I'm obviously not welcome here so I'll leave but let me just clear up a few things first.

    Firstly yes I do think I'm intelligent I have always thought this and yes I have proven this intelligence many times since primary school. However, I don't think that I'm the most intelligent person ever and I understand they are people out there who are smarter than me hell my best friend is probably going to do better in the JC than me.

    Secondly competition is good. The competition I was talking about between my friends was all light hearted and in good humor. Its just really who gets the best average in the house exams, who got the top of the class in the class test, who got the best pre results and then obviously the big one who will get the best JC results.

    Lastly I'm not the one scaring people who are doing ordinary and foundation level away yer doing a pretty good job at that yerselfs already and think it's time ye got down off yer high horse and took a long hard look at yerselfs realised that. Its not just people doing ordinary and foundation yer scaring away as well.

    Can I ask what the * are talking about? The only person on a high horse is yourself and your superiority complex. Talk about an ego. If they are doing pass maths that doesn't make them slow as you call them. Maths is something you are good at or not but it's not always a representation of intelligence levels

    There's quite a big difference between intelligence and being capable of getting A's in exams...

    Ya because getting a reading age of 16 in 2nd class and then getting in the top 1% of the 6th class sigma and Micra ts in second class doesn't either. I also got in the top 1% in the Drumcondras as well.

    What are you trying to prove? If you know you're intelligent then you don't need to show it off

    I wouldn't say trying to show off your intellectual abilities to us makes you intelligent, neither does a maths test you did in 6th class.

    Stop boasting. If you're so intelligent good for you but there's no need to show off. I find from my class, the most intelligent people never boast about what grade they got or mention it.

    Seriously what are you trying to prove. That your more intelligent than everyone else. Fair play to you for those achievements and success but theres seriously no need to show off. My english teacher told me this quote that has just come to mind and it definitely suits your situation

    ''The biggest challenge after success is shutting up about it''

    I didn't come on here to boast I came on here to discuss the JC this is the JC forum like. But then it turns out when I contributed to the discissions on what how much study I do and asking about what exactly is good in the JC I get told I'm trolling and that I'm the reason as to why people doing ordinary and foundation don't post in the forum. I was then told I'm not intelligent and I wouldn't pass a test on emotions.
