didn't you guys fail any course in high school?

Question

Ok , so none of you guys have failed any course in high school , i failed in Maths10 Pure. I know its something really bad , it shouldn't have happened but you can't stop something which is going to happen even if you wish to. Does that mean I will'nt be able to do good any more in anything?. My parents first they didn't say anything but they started saying me you have failed one subject you don't have anything to do.Today in morning my mother told me you have failed maths now you should start cleaning the house. Ok have I commited any crime and I should get life sentence for that?. Even I want to forget this thing , they will never let me do that. I know i did something wrong but do you guys think I got intentionally failed in it and now i have succeeded in my plan of failing it. All i want to do is good in my next semester that's what i want to do . What should I do?.

Answer 1

Never failed a course but came dang close to it with chemistry !!
Just never could quite get my mind around it---actually didn't want to get my mind around it--just had no interest in it at all !!

O K---so you've done the unspeakable !! And, the world is crashing in on you !! And, the parents are coming apart at the seams !! And, the world is gonna end tomorrow !!
First off--almost any set of parents are going to be "disappointed" that you have not done the absolute best that could possibly ever be---ALL parents are like that---It's their JOB to be disappointed if you are anything less that perfect---that's why you have so many disappointed parents---because there isn't any of us that are perfect !!! But, at the same time---they HAVE to know that you're gonna need some support here of some sort to find the problem at the base of this thing and get it corrected--- whether it is a need for some kind of tutor---or whatever---BUT being parents they will immediately feel as though they've got to "punish" you in some way for this THING YOU'VE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN !! And, basically all parents are like that---you just got to deal with it !!
One course does not a life make---so---if you can pull yourself together here---hang in and survive the craziness over the next bit---strap down and try to recoup the loss here--- you're gonna do just fine !!!

Answer 2

I never failed a course in high school, but I got to University and had to do this one math course, but I never attended and never did the assignments, so I failed. I thought it would be the end of the world, and it almost was pretty bad because I came close to being on academic probation... (in education faculty you have to keep a certain GPA, and to stay in the university at all you have to keep a 2.0... so a 0 pulled me really down for that semester since I didn't do well in the other classes either). Pull it together, work harder, study more, do math in groups (surprisingly math is a great group activity... keeps you motivated, and you can compare answers in the end, and figure out why you did a question right/wrong)

Answer 3

I failed high school algebra three times, and it was the slow algebra course. However, I researched and found that the local university taught algebra a different way: through a self-study course in a lab with tutors. Every two chapters I took a test, and every two tests = a quarter credit in college. Got a full three credits in one summer, then got 660 on the math SAT's, out of 800, better than 98% of the population. Went back to the high school teacher and laid my SAT scores on his desk and said, "I quit this class, but you have to still keep teaching kids like me every year." He retired the following year. The thing I learned is that I can't understand math by hearing someone explain it, but I can learn it if I try different methods. Oh, and I use math in my work: I do it all the time. Turns out I'm pretty good at it. I'm successful, too. Failure taught me to get up and try a different way.

The point of this story is to never give up, just find different ways of working around the problem. There's always another way. Or, you could just sit on your A$$ and blame the world, your choice, but that doesn't get you anywhere.

Answer 4

You can always go back and finish a course. I failed physics twice. I also failed math 10 pure and went into math 20 applied the next year. Now I'm in business college where the marks really matter. Just figure out what you want to take in college and that will be your motivation to further yourself and your studies. If that doesn't, just picture yourself flippin burgers for a lifetime at your local mcdonalds. That should straighten you out. Marks do mean money, but money doesnt mean happiness. If math is too hard for you there are trades out there that may be the right choice. Either way, just take summerschool if you can and try to finish the course. If you don't now and you realize you need the course later, and you will regret not going to summerschool because of all the money you'll have to fork out in college to upgrade.

Answer 5

I usually fail in math every year, or get a C, which to me sucks, so I can't imagine how my parents must feel. If they know you tried your hardest, they'll encourage you to do better, and they might not freak if you make it a promise and stick to it. You could phrase it so its not like, "Mom and Dad I failed this grade, which sucks", but say rather, "I didn't do so well in this subject and because our school offers spare grades, I will be okay, but I know it doesn't cover up the fact I failed, and I will definably try harder in the future." Best of Luck.

Answer 6

Try getting a tutor to help you go back over last years assignments and redo them so you get a better idea of what you're supposed to be doing for that class. It'll also show your parents you're serious about your studies.
I failed math too, I was in the 5th grade and we were adding/subtracting/multiplying and dividing fractions. I just couldn't get it. My mother bought me a book that taught you how to do all that stuff and I made a B the next 6 weeks on my report card. I know it's not to the same extreme as yours but the solution is the same. Go back and relearn how to do it.

Answer 7

Yes, I failed Algebra II in high school. I just couldn't get it no matter what I did. I tried really hard. I worked on my homework, I studied, I paid attention in class but it was all to no avail, I still failed. I think I failed the second semester of Algebra I too and had to repeat that. When repeating Algebra II I barely passed with C's and D's. I even overheard the Algebra teacher talking to my English teacher about it. She said I don't understand. I went down and checked all her other grades and she excels in everything else. She has A's in everything but my class. I just couldn't get it. I don't know if it had anything to do with the teacher or whatever. If you were like me and did everything you could then try explaining that to your teachers and your parents but if you didn't do all you could do then try harder next time and tell your parent's you are sorry you made a mistake and to please quit reminding you constantly of that mistake. Good luck in the future.

Answer 8

yeps...I failed in physics and accounting.....everyone think I was dumb at the time.
glad to say I dont even need it in my profession now. I only need to use my art skills.
You can try to get into study clubs/classes and improve ur marks for next semester. If all fails, maybe it's because u weren't interested in it at all, then you can find something else u're really good at.

Answer 9

No I can't say i failed any courses when i was in high school.... How about you stop crying that river and you pick up a book and study.

Answer 10

I failed chemistry ( thrown out of the class ). Your parents are not treating you right. They should not keep bringing it up and using it as an excuse to punish you additionally.
