My grades...?

Question

I am an A+ student I am in the gifted and talented and everything.But latley I've noticed a decline in my grades. I'm in seventh grade. And I have B+'s in 3 classes and A+'s in 3 my parents can't stand anything lower that a A-. Now I'm scared... report cards are coming out and I don't know how to raise my grades up to all A's we have way to many short days and we are not doing alot of work so I cant pull my grades up that way. And also they have to turn in the grades to the office a week before so i really only have 5 SHORT days to pull up my grades. Please help me...and NO my teachers don't do extra credit. (And no negative answers)

Answer 1

Im going to be honest with you and tell you what i would do. I wouldnt worry about it. you're in what seventh grade, now is not the time when you should be so heavily concerned with your grades, save that motivation for when you get to high school. You will definately need it. I'm a junior in high school right now and my grades from seventh grade dont mean anything to me, but high school is when you need to take care of your grades.

And there is nothing wrong with a B+, especially if you have 3 A+'s already. I am an A student myself so i do know how you feel about getting a B+ when you are so close to getting an A- but dont worry about it too much for now. Trust me you'll have plenty of time to worry about your grades in high school.

Answer 2

Today I found out I'm getting an 88 in science (I'm in 7th grade) I really need an A- but this teacher freaks me out (TOO STRICT~) so now i turned in a redo of a lab and i hope that raises my grade any. but my parents are like yours, except they don't like A- either! (i want an A- for myself) so, ask for some extra credit, or be super special in the time till cards, and finish strong. Tell your parents its your best and that you will try harder. Besides, you learn from mistakes. You know the teacher better so you better understand the expectations. Try better later, cause one B won't ruin UR life. An F will...but not a B cause B is above average, C is average, and A is outstanding. And if none of this works, sing "No body's perfect" by Hannah Montana. Just might work!

Answer 3

Your spelling and grammar leave a bit to be desired--based on your question. Perhaps you were the student of easy graders before, but not now. You must have enough intelligence to know that only a miracle will change your grades this quarter, but cheer up, you can speak with your teachers, improve the quality of your work, and get those straight-A's for the semester, and semester grades are what goes on your permanent record. A question for you--Didn't your parents go to parent-teacher conferences? If they did, they already know what your grades are likely to be. If they didn't, what's their problem when they didn't care enough to go? I have 5 daughters, and I didn't miss, even if it required setting up an appointment other than the time set aside for the conferences. No, the kids didn't al get straight A's, but they did their best, and that's all I could ask.

Answer 4

There will come a time (in a few years) when you will look back and realize that grades basically mean nothing... zip... nada. I was also an A+ student. I even won a medal for getting the best GPA in my entire class. The medal is lying around in some drawer somewhere, and I know people who didn't get straight A's who have "better" jobs than I do. Getting across-the-board A's isn't really worth the effort. Just try to relax a bit and enjoy life a little more. Not doing THAT, you will regret. Getting a few B's, you won't. Trust me. Been there, done that.

Answer 5

That's a tough one. I kno everyone says B+'s arent that bad, but to me I'd die. It's not just that I'd be disappointed, my parents would kill. I got asian parents, and u kno the stereotype haha. Altough others say it, don't give up ok? Even though your teachers don't really give out extra credit, talk to them how ur disappointed about your grade and ask if there's any way to raise it. With luck, they might help you. In the end, if your grade still isnt what you want, just try harder next time. TIP: during classes ALWAYS ask questions, participate, etc. This way the teacher will like you more :) Sorry if I'm not that much help. :(

Answer 6

You can study the notes you take in class, that would probably help pull your grade up for when you have to do graded classwork, quizzes/tests. I am in 7th grade too and I have a B+, 5 As and a C in music. My parents arent really mad they are proud of me because this is my first year in all accelerated classes. A B+ isnt a bad grade at all. So I guess you should just study more. Good Luck getting all you B's up to As.

Answer 7

Try not to stress about it because at this point there isn't much you can do.
1. Don't feel the need to do well to please your parents... do it for your own satisfaction.
2. Since you will be getting some B+'s give your parents a heads up. Try to figure out why your grades went down... maybe you're stressed... maybe they put a lot of pressure on you. But after you identitfy why your grades went down tell them that you'll bring your grades up. Prove to them that you mean this by using your time next semester to bring your grades back to what you're used to.
It's okay though, everyone has their slip-ups. Hopefully your parents will be understanding... But I think the important thing is to try and figure out why this decline took place.
Good luck!

Answer 8

in five days you could raise your grades... if each of your teachers do one or two worksheets or quizzes or homeork assignments then you could. the only thing you can do is try to get 100% on all your class work till the 5 days is up. if your grades arent high enough still then just tell your mom and dad that you are really trying and that you will do better next time. or that you are just going through a stressful time because of all your AP and gifted classes.
if you try and dont do as good as you expected then atleast you can honestly tell your mom and dad sorry.

Answer 9

i personally dont think B+'s are that bad of a grade seein as im in college i would love B+'s but there really isnt anything you can do except try extra extra hard for A+'s next quarter so that your grades average out to A-'s.....i was in the gifted and talented program whne i was in middle school and i know how stressful it can be but im sure if you explain to your parents that you tried they'll cut you a little slack just dont let a B discourage you because then all your grades will suffer

Answer 10

B+ is an ok grade. I know this will sound annoying, but tell your parents that you shouldnt have to be perfect all the time. peoples grades often drop when they enter high school. I know mine did, and im in 8th grade rite now. they go up again. its probably a bit too late to raise your grades, (and you should have been working hard in the first place if you want straight A's) but tell your teachers that you're afraid and ask if you can do anything. but my solution would be to have a long talk with your parents. tell them what every1 else gets. They should know that you're only in yr 7, and pushing you now won't help you in yr 12 ect.
