It's on the learning, not on the grade.

I greatly believe on the saying "It's on the learning, not on the grade". I am the living proof to that. Ever since elementary, I was a lazy student. I do not make or pass late assignments, laboratory reports and projects. Now in high school, I failed Physics 2 [third year], a subject I excel. Why? Because I did not pass any assignment or lab report for that subject. It was okay for me to fail the subject because I know I'm good on it. I always answer my teacher's quizzes which my classmates find difficult. Our school adapts a grading system from 1.0 to 5.0 - 1.0 as the highest and latter as the lowest. Our teacher promised that he will deduct 0.50 to the grade of anyone who can get 80% or more on the nationwide achievement test (test to assess the learning of students on the 8 different campuses). It so happened that I was the only one in the whole campus to get 80% then the next one is 62%. My teacher can't accept it and did not deduct anything from my grade. That quarter, I got 1.75 compared to 1.25 I should have got with the deduction. It was okay to me because I know it's on the learning not on the grade. Do you believe on the saying? Anyway, me and my teacher are friends.
