It's hard to get good grades in high school I'm not going to lie. I am mostly an honors student, does this make me perfect, NO. I am anti-homework, and can't stand having to bring school work home. I think some people do not realize how they get good grades. I know the secret, its super simple. (For Parents:) Raise your child to have positive thoughts about good grades, but don't scare them if they get a bad one. For example my mom likes As and Bs but if I get a C she would never scream or erupt or anything she would tell me its okay and help me make up for it. One thing you want to remember as a parent you don't want to have your kids scared of you! make sure you raise them from their first day of school with good study skills and habits. (For Students:) Yes getting good grades is very hard, don't overwhelm yourself with everything you have to do. Plan your time, make a schedule, and stay focused. I realize I'm asking for a lot but all together it will help. I am good in almost all my classes but math, he barley ever checks the hw but today for the first time he did, fully. I wasn't such a good student and I only did half of the problems. The worst part of this is that in his class if you forget 1 hw you can get TWO points off your final grade. I began freaking out, and just started copping the questions into my note book, it worked. Maybe since I am a good pupil in his class or that I flipped the page there and back really fast but it worked. I started shaking and getting all nervous while that 5 minutes of my life went on but, I don't want to have anyone feel what I felt then because it felt like crap. So I think everyone should realize what kind of teacher they have and build up their skill in that region so that success becomes a bit easier.
Questions:
Are you/ Where you a good student?
What was/is your toughest class?
Do you like me giving advice?
I personally hated highschool! Hated it, but one of my biggest regrets was not trying harder in school. To be honest school was boring and the drama overwhelmed me because I wasn't cool. :) Reality is there is a big world out there and if you can buckle down in highschool it will open doors for you in whatever you want to be when you grow up.
