My cheerleading coach is being nice about it and said she not doing anything untill my dad talks to her which is great so Im not too worried about that! Helpp me what should i do

i think i deserve a B or at least a Ci've been working hard and my dad says that too!

Answer 1

Definitely find all the grades you earned in your math class that your teacher gave back, average them out, and see if you really deserve that F.

Have your Dad call the school and find out if you were absent the day your teacher "claims" she gave out that paper. If you were absent then she can't give can't give you an F on it.

Work really hard on that thing she gave you to correct and be careful. Don't show that you are angry when you see her next time. You don't want to get her angry. If you end up needing to talk to her be calm and keep your cool.

I have been in a similar situation and I had to work really hard in the class to get my grade up. GOOD LUCK!

Heyy Gabster :)

Lolz, school, nowadays, is pretty , much losing the essence which it once stood for. School is a stepping stone towards making yourself a more useful person. Well yes, then again the part about learning the subjects and scoring comes along eventually but the fact that scores/report cards are not the most important things kinda skips the teachers' attention.

There are these teachers are typically understand the journey a student goes through, a journey they once themselves went through, then there are those who tell themselves "Hey i got myself through it, let me make sure these people dont >:)". Not really the best educators around :D

Coming particularly to your problem, Gabster, don't worry. Judging by what you have written, you are a good student and there is no reason for you to fret. Lucky for you, your cheerleading coach is being good about the whole dilemma :). Tell you dad to talk to the cheerleading coach first and let them together talk with the math teacher. Seeing that you haven't performed badly in the past, asking for a retest wouldnt be too unreasonable, in fact it would be a good way to show your math teacher what you're made up of :)

Finally, please dont be DEPRESSED about the whole issue :). It takes all kinds to make the world and personally, i find it quite .. refreshing when i come across each new type :P. They just enrich my experience and show me that a new set of jackasses to look out for. Keep your guard up and do what you are already doing, be yourself, a good student :).

Cheers :)

P.S. If you dont mind, could you tell me how the whole thing works out ? :)

Answer 3

First of all, even if you think the teacher is uncaring, DO NOT TELL HER THIS! Stay polite and respectful the whole time. That way, if this your Dad isn't able to work this out, and you really SHOULD have a higher grade, the teacher will not be able to comment on your bad attitude about the situation.

Next, ask the teacher several things:
1. What all you got bad grades on. If one of them is where she failed to provide you with materials/details, take note so that your dad can mention this when he talks to her.
2. What material you will cover over the next 3 weeks. Tell her that this is so that you can go ahead and be getting familiar with the material.
3. What she would suggest to improve your grade. If you make the teacher feel as if you think she always knows what to do, then she feel flattered, and in rare cases help you out with an extra credit assignment.

Lastly, let your dad handle talking to her. I'm not sure how it works at your school, but at mine if the teacher/parent conference can't work it out, then our parentals go to the office and speak to the principal. Make sure that you continue to do good in your other classes as well as work hard in math. YOU HAVE TO BE THE GOOD GUY HERE or the adults are likely to side with the adults regardless of circumstances. (except for your dad. he's biased tho...)

Good Luck with everything and I hope I've helped!!!

**to everyone who thinks I'm judging all adults based on a few that I've had the misfortune to encounter: I'm not. I'm simply making sure she is prepared for the worst. Often times, adults have a tendency to assume all teenagers are delinquents.

Answer 4

Your quesiton is a bit frantic and difficult to follow, but I have a few suggestions.
1.) Report card time is not the time to worry about grades. You should worry about your grades starting on day 1 which means being in class, studying, and doing your assignments.

2.) If you have missing assignments, ask your instructor if you can arrange to do the missing assignments for partial credit. Keep in mind that you are asking for a favor. It is not your teacher's responsibility to make sure that you are in class or to manage your time for you. If you failed to turn in an assignment, it is not your teacher's fault, and she is not obligated to cut you any breaks. However, most teachers are willing to work with students who are respectful and willing to make up the missing work.

If you are respectful in your approach, and you comply with the terms of whatever agreement you make, you will probably pass the class and be able to continue cheering. Try not to find yourself in this position next time grades are coming out.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Let your Dad make the first move. I bet he'll get a plan together with your teacher and get ya back on the right track. Its ok, you slipped up a little bit in math. But youre a A/B student? AWESOME! You have the skills to get that grade back up there, just use the tools you have already learned. Its just a little wake up call that says its time to give Math a little more attention.
Hey, dont get depressed, its going to be ok.
Hope this helps,

Answer 6

I didn't desire to reply this but, however considering that the "binomial enlargement" system is being tried to end up the declare a tad bit too "trivially" I simply desire to explain the non-obviousness of the drawback: When you utilize binomial enlargement, the sum of the coefficients for time period 10^(i+j) that you just get are NOT assured to be digits within the ensuing base 10 quantity! Think approximately it: Many such phrases with giant coefficients (because the ensuing coefficients within the enlargement are already product-coefficients) can be further at the side of no promises at the "spillovers" into greater digits. I did paintings extra in this, steiner, each backside-up and best-down, and whilst I did acquire the identical effect as you that any atypical n enjoyable the given houses could must lead to 001 (i.e. be congruent to a million modulo a thousand), the latter "continuation of instances" I bought variety of exploded combinatorially. You traditionally attempted those successive instances already, so I bought to the sub-instances both t(250t +/- a million) outcome in a <0s&1s quantity base 10> or (2t+a million)(125t + sixty two.five +/- zero.five) outcome in a <0s&1s quantity base 10>. The "simply hold trying out the final digit of the product to finally acquire a contradiction" factor does not appear to paintings considering that there are the ones powers of five that hold developing (good, probably you'll be able to use that truth on your abilities, because the development have to quit someplace -- in which?). I am just a little bit pissed at you, Farful, and Low-Key for posting such exciting questions whilst I have such a lot rattling paintings to do (midterm grading and 2 paper closing dates!). :P What I can see is that that is so much obviously no longer your average core university drawback! I doubt that I've been valuable thus far besides to factor out a few unlucky paths. My most effective different remark on the second is that this: What is so detailed approximately base 10? As Ana talked about, of path the numbers do seem like binary numbers, that means that if the bottom have been two the constitution of the ensuing squares could seem extra "random" as each x^two could fulfill the estate (it additionally method of path that for any max digit n, the complete quantity of viable n enjoyable the stipulations is at so much two^n which continues to be an excessive amount of for any exhaustive seek). However, e.g. what occurs while you ask the identical query for base three? I think the "oddness" constraint would not preserve anymore, so permit's cross one extra and say: What occurs while you ask the query in base 6? Or, as one more commentary on divisors of 10, what occurs in base five? Good success, steiner. :D ---- Dear Vikram: Why can not that even digit be 0, where case what has been proved/disproved? ---- No drawback, Vikram, it occurs to all folks. The "core university" aspect is variety of deceptive too -- I felt fairly unhealthy to start with whilst I could not resolve it instantly! I wager that is why steiner wrote "HARD" in all caps, hehe... Anyhoo, I'm performed grading, in part performed with paper-stuff... Off to sleep. :D G'night time...

Answer 7

What grade do you think you deserve? Then I can answer more fully.

There is a big difference between a C and an F. To get an "F" you would probably have to show that you have no knowledge of the material presented. If you passed the majority (65%), of the tests and quizzes, that deserves at least a "D". If you didn't, then the quality (or lack of), your homework should be taken into account, along with any extra-credit material. Please re-evaluate and get back to me.

Answer 8

If you feel you have a legitimate greivance take it to the principal. I don't know what it is about high school teachers but the majority seemto be on a power trip and when it comes down to it they don't really want to help but they want to get paid well.Sorry, a bit of high school venom there! But yeah, talk to the principal if talking with the teacher doesn't help.

Answer 9

If you are an A B student, a zero on one paper wouldn't drop your average to an F

Answer 10

talk to her and work hard for the next 3 weeks


good luck
