Ok, Ok

Despite the fact that it made more work for both me and the secretary, I added one point to your final exam grades. The net result - no change in your final grade for the year. None, not one bit. As I said in class, that one point, when calculated into the whole year was insignificant, but so many people were convinced that it would somehow salvage their averages, I went ahead and did it, primarily to demonstrate that it would not. Here's a hint for next year and for the rest of high school. Do not quibble or worry about a point here or there - it doesn't make any difference. Even when it seems like it does for a single test, that one test is only one grade that factors into your entire year's body of work. If you focus too much on that type of thing, it usually indicates that you are not concentrating on the big picture - did you do very well, well, average, below average or poor. Don't fret over the individual points, fret over your overall performance and work to maximize that.

Have a safe and fun summer - it is a short one this year so make the most of it! I'll post things here now and then of scientific/science fiction interest so check in periodically to see what I'm thinking about...
