Answer 1

Study, Study, Study.

Answer 2

They're just trying to be good parents. If you got a D in science and can't even spell the word "teachers" right, then you deserve to be bugged by them. And I'm not some irritating parent, I'm in school too; you brought this on yourself. You'd better "gey help from [your] tachers" quickly.

Answer 3

OK... I'm a 9th grade science teacher so... I wonder why you got the D. If your teacher puts a lot on test and your not a good test taker then there isn't much you can do, except ask for study guides, extra credit or just ask them for help. I will always go the extra mile for a student I think cares. If it's based on points or projects, ask your teacher to show you why you didn't get full points on something. Ask them to show you another students paper that is A work, then you have an example of what they want from you.
I'm also a parent and would stay on your back to if I was your mom and dad... it means they love you, I know it's hard but let them help you, it always works if they think you want their help, then they think your trying! Good Luck

Answer 4

Try to not be mad. Your parents want the very best for you and realize that grades are everything ( they arent really but they are the only way to measure at your age) so that you can get into a good college where you will meet superior people and have a much better life. Your life now is very hard and requires a lot of work I know. You feel like you just cannot stand it anymore but keep going to your teachers because I believe it is THEIR job to help you learn and that if you get a D it is their fault ( IF you are doing your homework and trying your best) You are at a difficult stage in your life but try to not blame your parents since they are doing it out of love for you.

Answer 5

What do you want us to tell you...run away?

Study. Hit the books. Pay attention in class. Take notes and study them. Participate in labs. Go to extra help. Your parents know what is best for you. You don't need to be an A student in Science, but everyone should know a good deal of science so that they know how light switches and carbohydrates and hurricanes work. After you know how to read and write and add and subtract, it is the most useful subject out there.

Answer 6

You fix, just as you have told your parents you will do. You gain there trust back, raise that grade from a D to a C or a B. Whatever. Getting upset and emotional over the issue won't solve the problem. Talk with your parents, not at them. You know you can do better, don't let yourself down. Have faith.

Answer 7

First of all, keep studying (or start if you weren't). Next, play dirty like I did when I was in school (but only if you WERE studying): ask them for help, too! Keep getting extra help from your teachers because it shows them that you're serious about taking care of this problem. But ALSO: If you were studying...you're a hard-working student who usually gets all good grades but are having a hard time in this class...ask your mother or father. My mother and grandmother graduated high school, but my father dropped out in eighth grade, and my grandfather dropped out in tenth. I got all A's and B's from 7th and 12th, and got 2 C's over those 6 years (each time being grounded for a month). I had troubles in those two courses. I asked them for help. They all told me I must not be trying hard enough. I told them that if that was their opinion, fine, and handed them the book or the assignment. They told me that they weren't going to do my work for me, I told them that I wasn't asking them to do my work: just look it over. If it's really easy, see what the assignment was, and if they could explain it better for me, or figure it out for themselves and help me with it. I stumped all four of them more than once. I'm not taking your side or your parent's side...but they're only on your back because they know you can do better. You and I both know that schools require more out of us than they did back when they were in school - to this day I still hear stories about how they only had to do addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division all through high school. Keep getting help...but not just from the teachers. Get help from both your teachers AND your parents. This will give you an opportunity to "bond" with your parents, because it will give them the opportunity to see what you have to do - and if they have no idea about what you have to do for work, they may even become speechless for a little while because they don't want to admit that you're smarter than they are. Good luck!!

Answer 8

What subjects are you studying in science this term? Can you go to the public library on Friday and get a book out on the subject, and read it over the weekend? How are you doing in other subjects? Oftentimes science in 9th grade is about applying math skills and making careful observations.

Answer 9

When I had a low grade in a class, I brought it up by doing extra credit, TRYING to pay attention to the teacher (Even though the class is a snore-a-thon), look up stuff on the internet about the topic.

A few weeks later I got an A.

Once my parents saw how hard I was trying, they got off my back.

Answer 10

Just tell them you tried your best and that you will try. Ask your teacher if there are any extra credit opportunities, and tell your parents if they are, and that you are doing them.
Also, spend more time on your homework, and check your answers. Better homework scores help your grades as well, as does studying longer and better for tests.
Tell them you are not perfect, and that it takes time to raise a grade. Also tell them that it would be helpful that they didn't stress you so much by hovering over you all the time, because that WILL help your grade. ;)
Good luck hun.
