"one from an "F" to an "M""

Wouldn't an "M" be worse than a "F"?

 

[MrMakapuu]

I'll give you a 99% since "an" is used for vowels and "a" for consonants. No 100% for you buddy!

Are six felonies really justified for this?

99.99 percent of the crooks on Wall Street have never been issued a ticket and never will be. But the cops destroy this woman...........

 

[Devoteicon]

Serves her right. Hopefully they'll take her kids away from her too.

Even if she is found guilty it is very rare that a person gets the full conviction of all charges. Usually most of the charges get dropped if she takes a plea bargain, for example.

I'm not really sure what a grade of "M" is, but she changed a grade from a 98 to a 99?? I'd kill for an 80 these days.

And the crooked cronied politicians in Washington on both sides of the isle make "Wall Street" look like a church choir. Not to mention that even Wall Street has laws, regulations, and checks and balances to adhere to, unlike our out of control government that has to answer to nobody and has unlimited revenue (taxpayers). What the hell company would still be around if it didn't have a freaking budget to adhere to after three years? Congress hasn't passed a budget in over three years.

I get so sick and tired of hearing people whine about "Wall Street" and "big banks" and "greedy corporations" all the while ignoring the giant elephant that they have to answer to and pay taxes to. (I have yet to have "Wall Street" steal from me).

Nope, "an F" is correct. The cookie cutter vowel/consonant rule doesn't work for everything.

 

[Guest]

That's because 'F' is pronounced 'eff'. See the vowel now?

Sure but why come down on her so hard to start with? And what kind of plea bargain is she going to get? Plea to a felony and get 5 years probation. Good luck ever getting a job again with that on her record. The US is a police state where the rich do whatever they want and the rest of us are punished. If this had been Jamie Dimon's kid the principal would have changed the grades for him, if the teacher ever had the balls to give his kid bad grades in the first place.

She got caught since most teacher's keep physical records and/or local copies of their own grades and the administration probably uses an entirely different system for handing out report card's as well as submission to state agencies. The 98 > 99 would have probably gone unnoticed except a teacher probably noticed a failure somehow managed to go up a class and the entire system probably got analyzed.

 

[CDdude55]

Just when i thought the school systems couldn't confuse the grading metric anymore, they're now giving out "M"s.

 

[notuptome2004]

Hey she changed the F to an M because she was hoping to help her kid achieve the year long goal of getting a big bag of M&Ms

"F" for Failure, "M" for Moron?

 

[lpedraja2002]

I like how Tom's article puts "hack" in quotes lol.

M- Medical reasons?

 

[kcorp2003]

That reminds me of my high school days. Junior year, we had an operation "grade change", it was a perfect plan, to change the grades hard copy before they were entered into the system to the board district database. we scout out the janitor daily routine for 1 week after school. blue-print everything. Everything was suppose to be carried out at specific time but my of our friend fell short and the mission was aboard. talk about disappointment.

My school forced us to take 4 years of foreign language and because of spanish my GPA was 3.2 instead of 3.7 I could have gotten into a better college.
