M mum went off at me in year 10 for getting 95% in a 5.2 test.
She went ballistic and yelled and shit.
I just mentally tortured her after that... she hasn't done it again.
But I'm completely white and so is she.
Also, when I said "I think I'll get over 80% for this chem test." Really excitedly after my test because it was difficult... she was disappoint. She questioned my intelligence and said some highly offensive things... I emotionally and mentally murdered her in the car.
I think it's just because she doesn't know that 80 raw moderates up in the HSC, and I only need an 88 for HSC chem mark if I get what I want for everything else.
It's probably just a lack of knowledge... Just let your parents know how good your marks/ranks actually are.
Say "such and such from last year ONLY ranked 4th and he got an ATAR of (whatever is acceptable in your house)."
Also, if you're friends with the top kids make sure your parents meet them and know how smart they are... this may not always work because my friend is the dux and he drove to my party and parked like 1km away from the gutter outside my house and I joked about it the whole night, as did everyone else. He was also very clueless about a few things.
So now my mum thinks that the smarter you are the more out of it you are... So now she thinks I should be dux, with some of the stupid shit I do... Like the kids...
