Answer 1

Ok, my worried friend!! As a former bad student who is now going to law school, let me assure you that you can do this!!! If you want, give this to your teacher so that the two of you will be able work on a plan to fix this.

First, if you are not already there, have your teacher move you to the front of the classroom, right in front of them. There is an old saying in college, "The closer you are to the fire, the more heat you are going to get." Good students sit up front because there is less distance between them and the teacher, meaning fewer things to distract you from what the teacher is saying.

Second, most bad grades are linked to weak reading skills--not your fault, but you will need to work on this. Have your reading teacher give you an assessment and find out where your weaknesses are. Then make sure your teacher schedules time for you with the reading teacher everyday.

Finally, go to your guidance counselor and have them give a "learning assessment inventory". This is a fancy kind of test that shows how you learn. With this information, your teacher can use the exact teaching method that they learned in college that matches how you learn. This test will also determine how you should take notes for your classes. Some people learn best by using a traditional outline--that was my downfall!! I needed to use a "mind-map"--do not worry about the terms, your teacher knows them and will be able teach you how to use it.

Good luck!! If you have any questions or problems, or if your parents or teachers want to contact me, my email is [e-mail]. Let me know how this turns out!

I have a child in 6th grade and she had a hard time at the beginning of the year. I went and talked to her teachers and we worked out a plan. She keeps a homework folder (all assignments are written down in it and anything that I need to sign or read is in the pockets) she was moved to the front of the class to eliminate distractions, and I check her homework. It took a few weeks of this for her to get in the groove and her grades are now wonderful.

Most schools will offer free tutoring in the library after school or during lunch; you might consider this as an option. You did not mention your parents, have you told them what is going on? They could be a lot of help (during my meeting with my daughter's teachers I got them to give her a few days to make up all of the work she had "forgotten" to do, it was a bad 4 days but she got credit for it)

If you just don't understand the work I think your best option is going to be talking to your teachers about it and a tutor. Best of luck to you, don't give up!!!!

Answer 4

You may need a professional tutor. You may also have to give up tv, games or other things to devote to study time. Asking for help is a step in the right direction, so good for you. You could also talk to your teachers for help. Good luck and do us proud.

Answer 5

Go after school and talk to your teacher about your grades and see if you can get extra credit, or if he/she can help you after school. Study as hard as you can and hope it makes sense! Good Luck!

Answer 6

Talk to your parents. Ask if they can afford to send you to the learning center (sylvia?) to evaluate your learning style. They can help you learn better, smarter. For you: try harder and be patient. Listen you other advices, try them out before giving them up. Good luck.

Answer 7

Here are some tips:
-Always turn things in!!(so important).
-Even if you dont turn things in on time see if your teacher will take it for partial credit.
-Don't talk during class(extremely hard but it helps alot).
-Study for tests and make sure you understand everything.

-If you dont understand the work talk to your teacher (they don't want you to flunk!).
Good Luck!

Answer 8

Ask for help at the Boys and Girls Club in your area. They give help. If you are not near one, ask at your church, or some elderly person who has lots of time to give.

Answer 9

One thing is this,
Stop talking/flirting/worrying/wondering about the boys!!
actually do your home work.
When an adult asks you "Have any home work"
if you do and you know say yeah.

Extra credit, Extra credit, does serous wonders.

Answer 10

Why don't you try asking your parents instead of a message board?
