I never cared what kind of grade I got.
I. . . [proposed] three distinct grades of education, reaching all classes. 1. Elementary schools for all children generally, rich and poor. 2. Colleges for a middle degree of instruction, calculated for the common purposes of life and such as should be desirable for all who were in easy circumstances. And 3d. an ultimate grade for teaching the sciences generally and in their highest degree. . . The expenses of [the elementary] schools should be borne by the inhabitants of the county, every one in proportion to his general tax-rate. This would throw on wealth the education of the poor.

In fourth grade, I missed 82 days of school. Out of 160.
My parents encouraged us to commit to things, so if we wanted to learn an instrument, it was all the grades and all the theory.

All my friends went to the Madonna concert when I was in, maybe, the 9th grade, and my mother refused to let me go.
