Except for practical subjects, my academic performance was above average.
In Japanese junior high school, academic performance was measured by written exam. But practical subjects (Music, Physical education, Art, Craft, Home economics) were exception. In terms of practical subjects, practical exam was also important.
We Japanese children were obliged to learn English from junior high school. Believe it or not, I always got good grades on English exam, although I was not good at Japanese. :(
Social studies was one of the most favorite subject. I was a Shakai Gakari. Shakai Gakari was a class committee member that assists social studies teacher.
But my academic performance in practical subjects was poor on the whole. I didn't like practical subjects. Although most male students liked physical education, I didn't like it.

Aside from my academic performance, our homeroom teacher recorded our submission status. We had to submit many kinds of works to the teacher. Almost all students, especially male students, failed to submit those works at least once. But believe it or not, I never failed to do that.
I was a very obedient student.
