well, my (asian) parents don't really care if I have cubes or not. As long as I get A's (in my school, it's sooo easy).
Wow, do you seriously take school that lightly, or do you just go to school with a bunch of idiots?? o_o
No. If they took them away and he still got D's and then (sometime later) he says that he just got this cube and he gets A's and B's, then they will think that cubes help him.
LOLOLOL thats what happened to me in Calculus, i went from an 82 last year to a 90 this year, probably because of some subconscious cubing addiction!!
I have an A- average and 3.3 honors, they gave me a HUGE lecture about damage being done and all that. my parents are asian fobs btw and they get REALLY pissed off about grades... srry if i offended you guys and I GET THAT I SHOULD BE PUNISHED!! geez...
Nah mate i feel your pain; growing up in a white neighbourhood with asian parents is really ridiculous, nobody around you knows what you go through and can relate and help you out, so you feel isolated and alone.
You should probably find a way to relate this all to schoolwork, like make up an assignment about the cube and show it to your parents.
Mine don't really care that I cube, when I went to TOW they sorta shrugged and let me take the car (all the way to Seneca College, too...) for an entire day.
It was sure nice of them, but I mean, I'm basically the poster-boy for expectations in my extended family, especially since out of EVERYONE, I'm the oldest child / grandson / cousin / etc...
BTW my GPA is equivalent to probably 3.2, since in Canadian terms I only have an 83.
