I was in a high school school physics class and jokingly asked the teacher for an a, and they told me that if they gave me an a they had to give everybody an a, is that what I wanted?

I hesitated for a moment and then said yeah of course I want that yes. Give us all A's.

I was immediately shouted down by every single other student in the class that it wasn't fair.

And I was like, you guys know that grades are all fake anyway and this is all b******* right?

A grade is a representation of the knowledge you have gathered.. money isn't real, George. But you can absolutely judge a person's sum knowledge. Jesus fucking Christ

Hahahahahahaha omg, I gamed grades all over the place in school. Learning the syllabus is like 20% of the work you do for an entire class. I would test homework assignments to see if the teachers would even read it and there were many times where I could completely hand in just a blank paper digitally and they mark me with a hundred.

In America at the very least grades are a complete joke that stems from an education system that prioritizes memorization and only includes deductive reasoning as an afterthought

You just gamed yourself IMHO...
