report card?

Question

my dad lives in maine and i just got a report card wih 2 Fs 2 Ds and a C+ so i was wondering how to break the news to him over the phone. My grades are always pretty vbad but thi is the worst of the year. And please when you answer this dont lecture me on how its my fault about the grades and whatever you want to say because ive been brought up by my mother and we dont believe in the school system and im probably just goin to be homeschooled next year anyways. So i would just like some advice and if you were wondering no he's not in support of the homeschooling as a matter of fact he doesnt even know yet.

Answer 1

Hi Molly, you ready for a life on welfare? You're headed for it full steam!!

Answer 2

I'm not sure what advice to give you -- just be straight with your dad.

I do think it's interesting that you "don't believe in the school system" and are failing. From my experience (I'm a teacher), kids who end up homeschooling because of lousy grades don't learn anything at home, either. Those are the kids we get back in a year because their parents were too lazy to actually teach them anything, and they really didn't think they needed to learn anything anyway. Then they are even further behind.

I'm not saying that to inflame you; I'm just offering you a warning, I guess, to take your homeschooling seriously. Get a curriculum and follow it so that you can pass a high school graduation test. Don't just blow off your education.

Answer 3

so which you propose you passes- truly properly in certainty yet you nonetheless choose to pretend your checklist card? in step with danger you may desire to be inquiring for help and suggestion of a distinctive sort. Why do you may desire to have all ninety's or extreme eighty's? If its your mothers and dads they might desire to recover from it and be extra lifelike and if its you putting tension on yourslef then pull your head out of your butt and undergo in concepts that 2 seventy 5's won't wreck your existence. some human beings could be overjoyed with a seventy 5- in case you do no longer like it then try tougher next time. you will get lots worse than a seventy 5 in case you get caught!

Answer 4

My opinion about your grades I will keep to myself because everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion, and your situation/experiences are probably far different than mine have been... however, if these are not final semester grades I wouldn't worry about telling your dad at all. Improve them the best you can (or however much you want to) for when final grades come around and call him with those. The "in between" grades as I call them are not the final say. Good luck with everything.

Answer 5

Ur in so much trouble if that was me i dont care what kind of a student i was if i brought home ne thing under a c i would be dead... just tell him tell him that you are doing every thing that you can to rais them try joining like a study club call and ask him for help

Answer 6

Yea the school system does suck. I used to be an honor roll student and asked me what I learned? NOTHING!! Just tell you dad that you tried your best even if you didn't. Or maybe you could say there are more important things in life than school but that might make him mad. I'm going to have to think of something to tell my dad when I get my report card cuz I've been slacking off!!!

Answer 7

I'd call him and act lik nothings wrong and talk lik you normally do. then if he asked about ur report card be lik umm, it bad dad. if he doesnt than be lik dad we got our report cards. mine is really bad. with a really low tone either way. take it he heard u he wil probaly ask what did u get tell him ur grades. he prolly will start yelling maybe not i dont know what your dad is like. but then be lik im really gonna try and blah blah blah im sorry blah blah blah. lol. Then maybe you could try to go up in grades just a little so next report card you dont have to go through this.

Answer 8

the best thing is to be HONEST with him. Dont hesitate to tell him. I know it is hard, but start something like this:

Hey dad,
i just got my report card, and i didnt do too well, next semester(or quarter or what ever is next) i will try 20times harder to bring my grades up. i know im not the smartest but i will try really hard for you dad. I got a c+ 2 d's and 2 f's. I know its pretty bad but i PROMISE it wont happen again..........................Let him lecture you then AGREE with him and dont try to rush the convosation or get off subject

Answer 9

How to do this is to break the news but also tell him how you are going to improve it. The bad turns to good argrument always works. If you simply state your grades without steps you will take to improve, he will do that for you. However if you state the steps to him, he will likely be more lenient towards it and probably help you.

Answer 10

Hey don't worry just say that this year is not going so well and tell him that you'll work harder, well of course you might get in trouble but hey its happened to me before to. i told my parents the worst grade first and then the best grade I got. and tell your dad how you could do better. hope this works, and good luck

Answer 11

Idea:
"Hey, dad. I want to talk with you and I want you to be open about this. Okay, here goes..."

Start by letting him know you did not do well in school. Let him know that you tried. And introduce him to the solution...homeschooling would be supervised by your hopefully "no nonsense" mom and you plan on doing better.
