I got 71.50 and my folks are probably more happy than I am
That is so sweet!!!!Jaydels said:My mum was in tears (of joy)...........as was I

(I got 94.1)
Fuck you, you're eighteen-or-so and you're telling somebody who is most probably more than twice your age that they are a bad parent. Where's the sense in that.MarsBarz said:Well that's because you're a bad parent. You fail to understand that kids need to be pushed and they need to be disciplined. This is reflected in your child's dismal failure. Parents push their kids to succeed because they want the best future for them.
When I see some people say that they are proud of a uai in 70's, I'm shocked. It is quite apparent that anyone who got in that range did not do any work in year 12 and didn't take their studies seriously. Hell, I barely worked until STUVAC and managed to get 95+. And I'm still not very happy, because I realise that I didn't give the HSC my best shot. I am regretful. But I'm glad that my parents punished me when I'd get low marks. Otherwise I might have become a homeless dropkick like your child.
My folks got lenient, but saw that I was determined to see the other side of the HSC out. I did work hard, I did give it my 100%, and I got 71.50. I don't have any sort of learning disability.stazi said:if you are so leniant with your children, I see that as a problem. They develop the 'it's ok to fail' mentality. If they truly give it their 100% (and I mean studied their arse off throughout the whole year), then that's acceptable (however if they get a 70UAI with that, they are likely to have some sort of learning disability).
I know what you mean, my parents were sort of like that's nice, like I bought a new top or something. Oh well, at least they aren't those ultra pushy parents. A little off topic but what course are you going to do elisbeth?elisabeth said:But this thread is about how our parents reacted, not our own reactions. (I'm over the moon with my results, in case you thought otherwise.) All I'm saying is that yeah, I -do- somewhat envy my friends, who have parents who are fucking estatic for them and show it.
I don't assume that at all.Not-That-Bright said:Why is it that people assume those with high uai's had no difficult circumstances...
I have 70UAI and I will most certainly get into 3/4 courses, hopefully 4 with EAS.If 80 gets someone into the course they wanted, that doesn't make it shit does it?
I second that. No one talks about "UAI' once you get into your desired course/uni.natstar said:You UAI is meaningless once you get into university, unless you plan to transfer and the UAI is taken into consideration. After that, no one will care.
that's bullshit. i always go to clubs and pick up chicks with my uai.kow_dude said:I second that. No one talks about "UAI' once you get into your desired course/uni.
it was probably me. no, wait. you're too ugly.natstar said:I met a guy that tried to chat me up with the line "I go to Sydney Uni"
He must have mistaken you for someone important.natstar said:I met a guy that tried to chat me up with the line "I go to Sydney Uni"
Oh I see, so he was fully aware of how inadequate you are.natstar said:No, he knows who I am. He went to my school
Hahaha.... When I told my parents I wanted to get above 90 UAI about year ago, they shook their heads and said "You couldn't get that!" and gave me a hope-dashing pseudolecture. They're fucking reverse-stereotypes, I swear.smithica said:so as you can see....MY PARENTS THINK IM SO MUCH LESS OF ME THEN I THOUGHT!!!
