Can somebody explain this to me? The way grades work in Australia (or the way they did at my school anyway) are different so I don't understand this. Are the numbers in the right column percentages? How are those added together to get the final grade for the class?
Wish I could be 100% helpful but I can't; there are tons of different ways schools grade things, hell, there are multiple ways teachers of the same school will grade things. From what I can tell though is this: the Tests are "weighted" or are graded more importantly than normal assignments. Meaning you can do shitty on assignments, do really well in tests, and then get a better grade. In this instance, Chris failed (or didn't even complete) every single assignment he was given for this class; but because he got C/B in his tests, he passed with a D.
As for the numbers: they're most likely percentages
Pretty much this. I have a lot of family members and friends in K-12 education. Sometimes, they'll be "encouraged" to pass kids, feel bad for them because they're going to be held back a second or third time, or the kid is just a shithead and they don't want to risk having them in their class again.
That's probably the worst thing about these leaks. While they reveal a lot about Chris, they reveal even more about the sad state of the public education system.

Legally, if it was in the trash, it's up for grabs. No crime was committed. SR could sell a few of these off to pay for the strippers at this year's CWCki Forum Xmas party if he wanted to.
Legally up for grabs, unless said rubbish is still on the property, requiring you to trespass to retrieve it. Not that I object to it in any way. Skyraider is doing god's work.
It's not just about Chris though. For all that Chris' work is pathetic, the work he's being given is almost as pathetic. It's as if they've dumbed down the whole curriculum to the point where they can let even Chris squeak through with a D. While I can't blame them for wanting to get rid of Chris, you have to consider he was mainstreamed. These dumbed down assignments are being given to all the other students in his classes as well.
Look at the fake résumé "chemistry" assignment you posted in another thread that has fuck all about actual chemistry. In my day schools tried their best to teach kids to do a job and left getting the job up to them, but this looks like they are teaching kids to get jobs they don't have the skills to do.
Ohhhh god, it wouldn't surprise me at all of THIS is the way Chris half-assed it when he couldn't remember how "hay" works.
When in doubt, why crack a book when you can just make shit up?
Many Spanish speaking countries use DD/MM/YYYY, I think. So that could be something that was taught in Spanish class and Chris used, and the date is actually December 7. Since Pokemon came out in the US in September 1998, that makes more sense, since I doubt Bob was importing Red and Green from Japan two years prior.
I can't read a lick of his handwriting. Judging from the illustrations it's either something about a shopping mall or an ancient treasure map from Spanish pirates.
Somebody call the Goonies.
I kept all my notes and digital files from law school, as well as my books. Sometimes I have referee back to them, but I really don't know why I keep them on my hard drive. I threw out my yearbooks and still throw out crap I don't use. I can't think of anything I would save from high school.
I hope people aren't getting too snarky because it's not the Chris we know now. This guy put some effort into getting this stuff and putting it up here for us, so give him some credit. Plus, we never had an insight on Chris' high school life aside from the stories he told us(and his insistent reminder of how great high school was and shit about the reunion and some shit about asking that girl to dance with him or something). I find it interesting, despite not being able to read half his horrible shit.
