Oh, and I remember in high school overhearing this conversation between two girls, and one of them was complaining how some other girl had got the highest mark for her Finnish essay even though she had used the word 'and' three times to start a sentence... I think she was one of these overachievers who always play by the rules, and have no imagination, just follow mechanically what the rules/teacher say. She was genuinely very upset about it.

Needless to say I was chuckling to myself... If you break the rules with style you can get away with it, and get the highest mark!

I look for that when grading too! Taking risks is a good thing.

it depends a very lot if the teacher is open or close minded.
I remmebr being in highschool and some girl just as you decsribed got a 10 in Romanian lesson. The teacher said to her she learned the whole thing but it's ok if she can't do it else.

I got a 6 and she told me i only tried to fool her even i didn't read the novels....

I was so angry and it's so subjective...because wrote my own points of view...what is actually asked and got a 6 and that girl learned what was already witten in some book, so she got no persnonality in her work at all and she got a ten.
I think that was the last time in high-school i cared about a mark.

*marks in Romania are from 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 the best. If you have a 4 averrage in 3 objects you must repeat the year and if you have 1(or 2) 4 averrage(s) you must write some exam in summer and if you don't pass it you must reapeat the year aswell.
