what if your doing your best in school but are still doing bad but your parents still think you can do better?

Answer 1

Unfortunately that happens sometimes. Sometimes people think that because a person doesn't have all A's then the person is not doing their best.

Can you have a good heart to heart talk with your parents and tell them exactly how you feel? Can you figure out what might help you do better in school? For example, would a tutor help? If someone helped you with homework, would that make a difference? You may need to learn organizational skills, study skills, how to take better notes, etc. There are all kinds of possibilities. Can you identify specific things that are particular problems for you? Try to come up with a plan that might help you do better and go to your parents and talk about it. Possibly if you ask more specific questions here on Yahoo Answers you might get more ideas.

Best of luck with it.

Answer 2

If you're doing your best, your problem really is that your parents think you can still do better. A 'best effort' was always good enough around my house when I was growing up! If your parents are so convinced you're not doing your very best, they'll get you a tutor to kick you up a notch. If, after you've given your best effort with the tutor, they should step back, look at the big picture, and see the reality of your situating, and should then encourage you to continue doing your 'best'. Good Luck!

Answer 3

I see it all the time. An average kid with average intelligence, doesn't cut up in class, always does his work, just not a 90+ kid.

Some parents put too much pressure on their kids. Often it's a case of them being afraid to be seen as failures for not having the kid in "honors class." They want the status! Sounds strange but it's true.

I've seen more kids get frustrated and confused just trying to keep up with grades, sports, band, chorus, etc. because mom and dad are forcing them into all these activities AND top grades.

When I ask the kids if they are overwhelmed, they most always say yes.

Answer 4

find out if your school has any homework help or tutoring programs availible, if they do, sign up for it. also, ask people who get good grades how they do it, how do they study. that will probably help. ask questions when you don't get something and ask the teacher for help if you need it. if you've tried everything and you still can't get the grade you want, consider talking to your parents about it. if they say you can do better have them suggest ways you can improve. once you've tried their solutions, talk to them again, and hopefully they'll realize that you are working to your potential and yout doing the best you can.

Answer 5

Don't worry about the gentlemens C. The extreme irony is that if you go to tech school there is a good chance that you will be making more money than many PhDs. Good students tend to simplify and only focus on school. Yeah, sounds lame because it is, but it pays off.

Answer 6

Just do your best. Have a meeting one by one with your teachers and let them know that you are trying your best and ask if there is anything you could do differently or any extra work you could do. Let your parents know that you are trying your best and communicating with your teachers and they should back off.
