Well, you need to ask yourself this:
Who's fault is it that you are failing?
If you don't want to deal with your mom when you get a bad progress report, then do the work and bring up the score. It is really easy. How do you think you are going to get through life without trying? The rich men only make up 1% of the world's population, so marrying well off is not the answer. More than likely, you will need to work and earn some money, if you don't plan on going to college (and with a failing grade, I am thinking that college may not be a priority with you. . .).
Long and short: Do your homework, try a little, and bring up the grade. It will take the heat off your @$$. But I think you should show your mom, and take what you have coming. Maturity starts with taking responsibility for one's actions, and taking the bad with the good. Time to take the bad. . .

The difference between being a kid and a grown-up or "grown" is learning to take responsability for your actions! First you chose not to do the work, probably knowing your grade would suck. Then when you get the failing grade you want to know if you should sneak around a lie about it? Seriously? Show your mom, take your "lumps" and work your low rise jean hiney off pulling it up to at least passing. American history is NOT important if you don't mind making the mistakes of your forefathers because you couldn't be bothered to crack a book or because you are not American and don't reside in the USA otherwise it IS important! Get off the internet and read the book!

Don't you have time to bring it up before the actual report card? A progress report does not mean a whole lot in your grade entirely. Tell your mother you will bring it up and work as hard as you can for the rest of the nine weeks or however long. You will have to punish yourself as well because you know you have been slacking off. You are going to have to work on your school work instead of being on this computer all the time and goofing off.

It sounds like you need to start taking responsibility for yourself. Show the report to your mom, admit that you are not doing well in school, and then ask her to help you set some academic goals for yourself. Maybe you need to start following a schedule when you get home from school to make sure that you spend enough time on your homework. Maybe you should ask her about finding a tutor to help you with the subject you are having the most trouble with. She can help you with all of these things.
She is still going to be upset that you are getting a failing grade, because as your parent, she wants you to do well. But if you ask for her help with your school work, I doubt that she will turn you down. Asking for help shows her that you care about yourself and are taking responsibility for your own education. That would make any parent proud.

Getting a zero for throwing it away is only going to make that grade worse.
Show her the progress report and tell her your plan for bringing the grade up, whether its tutoring or 30 mins a day devoted to studying the subject.

I agree with Marsha and the two people after her who responded. You have to ask yourself, are you scared at her being mad at you about the grade b/c she will yell or you will get in trouble, and you don't really want to hear it? Or b/c you don't want to disappoint her further? Be honest with yourself. No one here knows who you are but you. Let me tell you the truth, it is better to have he mad at you b/c of your grades than to not care what you do in school. Last school year my son (who was 10 at the time) was grounded for weeks b/c of his grades & missing homework. He brought his grades up and all was cool. One day my hubby came home from work and saw an interim report on our living room floor. He picked it up and was about to get pissed b/c it was full of d's and f's, then he noticed it belonged to the kid across the street. About an hour after my son returned it to the kid (who did give it to his parents, my son saw thru the window), the kid was outside riding his bike and playing. When my husband asked him (our son) how that made him feel, he said, "Well, good, because I know you guys care about my grades and how I do in school." He was 10 when he said this, and I am assuming you are in high school, or at least junior high. All we want is the best for our kids. You need to be honest with her. Forging her name is not the solution. You need to come up with a plan on how you will bring your grades up and STICK WITH IT! If you present it to your mom (hey, i promise to study and do my homework!) and do not follow through, all you are doing is hurting the relationship and breaking the trust. Good Luck, hon. I hope you make the right decision here and in school!

Honesty is always the best policy for it is better to hear the news from you than another, namely a teacher.
She is concerned that you do whatever level is your true best - for the overall outcome is what affects your future and its choices.
When presenting it to her, let her know that what she has been telling you is true for it shows on this progress note.
This also tells you that you need to work abit harder in able to be to pass for the remainder of the term.
Let her know that you are aware she is dissappointed but no more than you.
Agree that you need to do better and signing this simply lets her be aware of where you are in this course.
Then express to her what you intentions are from here on and then stand true to them!
Best wishes Hon!

As a mom of 4- I would want to know. She isn't getting mad at you for no reason- she truly wants you to better. You need school to exceed in life. It teaches you how to think and how to be responsible. What you learn isn't as important as if what is being learned sticks in your brain. Show her and be responsible. You need to be responsible for your actions. Remember how you feel now and do what needs to be done to bring up your grades. Your mom is the best one to help you do that. You'll understand when you are a mom.

well, sweetheart I did the same thing, I forged my mom's signature, because it was a new chance for me to start my grades up again. I stopped doing it, because I got caught. I show my mom my grades and she never cared, you actually have a mother who cares about your grades. It's hard to do it and it will only get harder, but you have support from your mother.
