im thinking about moving out next fall- in with my boyfriend. im 16, i'll be 17. hes 18 soon to be 19.
it is possible for me to continue going to high school once i move out, but still- finishing it up online would make my life easier for when im on my own. ill have more time to work and take care of things.
what are some sites or places sources whatever that offer courses online? (link)

Contact high schools near you and find out if they offer online classes. The high schools in my district offer online classes for kids who want to get ahead, or who have fallen behind.
Here's a link to the online classes that my school district offers. Maybe this can help you find online classes in your area. :]

well, i will be taking chemistry. I heard it was a very hard class, and i would like to know what to be prepared for. What basic things should i all ready know when going into the class, and what should i memorize (the periodic table???) Is there a lot of math work, and how hard would u rate it 1-10?
also, i'm taking physcology next year. If anyone's ever taken it, could you tell me what you do in the class? (I know what it is, i just want to know about the class) please, and thank you. =D (link)

Chemistry can be a little confusing. It took me a while to understand the basic concepts of it, but then again, I was in an honors class and our classes are only 4 months long.
You do not need to memorize the periodic table. The teacher tells you the first week what elements and compounds to memorize.
Not much math is involved. If you know how to add and multiply, I think you'll be fine.
Half the time, you're doing labs, and most chemistry teachers give good grades for labs. If you don't really understand the concepts, but you do the labs as best as you can, you will end up with at least a B, in my opinion.
On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the hardest, I would rate it an 8 or 9. I still got a high B, though.
Don't worry about chemistry. It is a lot of fun.
As for psycology, my friends who have taken it say that it is really fun. You do lots of projects and groupwork to learn about other people.

Okay, so I go to this really like.. stupid school.. as in, I'm smarter than like 90% of people there.. So that means I get a high class rank, etc. & even free community college because of that.
Unfortunately, living with my mom is a complete hell. Honestly, it is pure emotional abuse with her. Of course, she IS a mom, and she does have her really nice moments, but she says I always have an attitude and completely goes off on me for that, saying I'm stupid and irresponsible, etc.
Everyone tells me that I'm about the nicest person ever and that she's wrong.. Even my dad. Which is why he divorced her. So, I sorta want to live with him, even though he is never home & always working & sometimes he can be a little harsh. Also I would be going to a sorta hard school and no free college or anything. & no seeing my boyfriend in school.. :[ & having to make new friends & stuff
So.. Should I stick it out for 3 more years or start a whole new life.. with more challenges :[? (link)

Stay with your mom. Once you're in college, you won't be home as much as you are now. My older step-brother goes to a community college and lives at home, but he only comes home to sleep because he has class and works part-time.
You should consider working while attending community college to save money and separate you from your mom.
Believe me, once you move out of your mom's house, you probably won't ever have the chance to move back in, even if you're in financial trouble.

Heyy. Well I'm really trying to get a 4.0 this quarter, so does anyone have some available, working study tips in mind? I would really appreciate it.
ps-oh yeah, I'm 14/f if that's of any help. thanksssss. (link)

Study for tests and quizes sooner than when they are given. If you have a test on Friday, start to study on Tuesday. This REALLY does help.
I have vocabulary quizes every week, and I have to memorize 20 words a week for each quiz. Memorizing 20 words Thursday night is very difficult, but studying 7 on Tuesday, 7 on Wednesday, and 6 on Thursday is much more manageable.
This might sound nerdy, but when I get home, I type up the notes that I took at school so that they are much neater. It helps me make the notes easier to read (notes that are in bullets are easier than notes that are in paragraphs), and by the time a test comes around, all I have to do is print off the notes and study those instead of looking through my binder.
I hope this helps.

I'm in a university program run at a college. Unfortunately, it's brand-new, so not all of the kinks have been smoothed out yet.
My exams start on the 12th, classes end on the 11th. I've got 2 on the 12th, 1 on the 13th, 16th, 17th and 18th.
I have a bunch of assignments due on Monday, none of which I've been able to start yet, because I've had too much work.
I just found out from one of my profs that APPARENTLY I've only handed in one lab out of 8 or so. He's going to accept my labs, but he'll take 50 percent off of each one, since they're 'late', even though my partner handed them in; he just forgot to write my name on them. When I found this out, I got so panicky that I ended up being sick.
A few nights ago, I stopped being able to sleep; I do everything I'm supposed to, but the stress is keeping my mind running like crazy. I had to go to the doctor's office and they put me on sleep aids.
I'm worried that I'm going to fail my one class, and if you fail even one class, you can't go into the next year.
I'm supporting myself financially, which is stressful enough, and I'm running into the end-of-year stretch. I've got a whopping 60 dollars in my bank account, can't ask my parents for help, and I have my phone bill, rent and groceries to pay for.
In addition to all of this, I've been helping friends through really difficult times, and dealing with seasonal affective disorder (S.A.D)
I'm so stressed out, and when I get stressed, I shut down. I haven't been able to do anything, and it only stresses me out more.
Any words of wisdom for a person who is literally making herself sick worrying? (link)

I think what you need is to relax. Go out and hang out with friends for an hour or two, or sit on the couch and watch your favorite movie with popcorn.
I have been in your exact situation. Having so much on your plate is, well, overwhelming, and although it may feel like the end of the world..it isn't.
Let's imagine the worst thing that could happen. You fail all of your classes, you end up losing your apartment, and you cannot attend the university next semester. To be honest, even if every fear of yours comes true, you would still have a friend or family member who would take you in. And, even though this thought might sound absolutely preposterous to you, you can attend a community college if you are unable to go to the same college again. Community colleges are inexpensive (you said money was a problem) and they accept people who have made mistakes in their academic careers. So, in the end, if the worst thing happens, you still have a bright future ahead. :)
But you still have to deal with your problems right now. What I suggest is go to your lab partner and have him/her tell your professor that you helped and deserve credit. If this doesn't work, I personally would do as many labs as I could, but not worry about them very much because it's your final exam that you should prepare for most.
Here is what you need to do. I would spend April 7th working on those labs and those labs only (if your professor doesn't accept your lab partner's labs). Then I would accept what labs are done and move on to studying for finals. On the 8th, do as many assignments as you can that are due on Monday. On April 9th, study for one of your finals that is on the 12th. On April 10th, study for the other final that you have on the 12th. On April 11th, make a list of the information you still don't know for the April 12th finals, and study that list. On April 12th, take your finals and study for the final on the 13th. On April 13th, take the final and RELAX. On April 14th, study for the final you have on the 16th. On April 15th, review for the final on the 16th, and if you have more time, start studying for the final on the 17th. On April 16th, study for the final on the 17th. And on April 17th, study for the final on the 18th.
So here is a bullet-style schedule that I recommend you follow:
April 7: Science labs.
April 8: Assignments that are due on Monday.
April 9: Study for 1 of your finals on the 12th.
April 10: Study for the other final on the 12th.
April 11: Review for both finals.
April 12: Take your first 2 finals and study for your final on the 13th.
April 13: Take the final and RELAX.
April 14: Study for the final on the 16th.
April 15: Review for the final on the 16th.
April 16: Take the final and study for the final on the 17th.
April 17: Take the final and study for the final on the 18th.
April 18: Take the final and have a party.
If you decide to follow that schedule, PLEASE do not stress over getting enough work done. Work, come home, study, and go to bed at 11pm at the latest. You need sleep more than anything for the next week or two. If at 11pm you are still working on assignments or studying and you have a lot left to do, say a prayer and go to sleep. At that point, there's nothing you can do.
That's another thing you should know. You are only human. You can't juggle a job and 6 exams. No one can.
Hopefully, you will have learned 2 lessons by the end of April. One, plan out what needs to get done and if you can't do it, at least you know you tried. And two, for goodness sake, don't take six classes at a time. If it means graduating a year late, so be it. Enjoy your college years.

This problem is dumb, I know - but I've been thinking about it. Today at the end of my last period class, maybe 10 minutes or so before the bell was going to ring, my class finished our work or whatever and were done with what we were going to do for the day. Usually our teacher lets us just get up out of our seats and talk to our friends. I don't know if she said this or not flat out to the class, but apparently she didn't want us to move around out of our seats today. A couple of minutes later I kind of glanced out of the corner of my eye that she told this guy to go back to his seat after he had moved. I looked up at the clock a little bit after that and it was like, a minute before the bell was going to ring. My friend told me from across the room to go and sit with her. I kind of knew that the teacher didn't want us to move around but I mean.. there were only like a couple of minutes until the bell. So, I got up and got halfway across to my friend when my teacher was like, "Where are you going??? I just told so and so blah blah blah." I just went back to my seat and it wasn't that big of a deal or anything. But if you were in that class with me and you saw that happen would you think I was dumb or rude or weird to do that? I felt like I looked stupid. I asked my friend and she was like, "I didn't even see you coming up." And to tell you the truth, I don't think anybody was even paying attention to me. But if you did see that would you think badly of it or not even care? I'm so stupid and neurotic and I realize this question is ridiculous but please try and humor me :-(
(link)
|
I wouldn't care. When there are a few minutes left of class, kids usually get ready to leave and go talk to their friends anyways. Your teacher just sounds strict.
So no, I wouldn't think badly of it. Your teacher probably isn't even mad at you (she's probably forgotten by now).

Hey. We're learning a new chapter in algebra now and I don't really understand it at all =(. I want to get ahead and figure it out before we have a test or quiz so help would be Greatly appreciated! I'm in ninth grade and doing Algebra. We're working on solving linear systems by graphing. If anyone can explain two of these problems step by step (literally) I would be SO happy and wish that I'd be able to give you a medal =)Ok here it goes. number 30. -3x+y=10 and the second one that goes to this is 7x+y=20 My question is what do you do step-by step and how do u graph it? Sorry I know this is REALLY confusing but I know someone out there can help me! Thank you sooo much in advance! =) (link)
|
Hello. Well, hopefully you already know how to graph an equation in y=mx+b form. The "b" is the y-intercept (the point on the y-axis where the line touches). The "m" is the slope of the line (rise divided by run, or rise over run).
So the FIRST step is to convert the equations to y=mx+b form. This means that you need to solve the equations for "y". Here's how you do that.
-3x+y=10 This is the original equation.
+3x +3x Add 3x to both sides.
y=3x+10 This is your equation.
Remember, you tried to get "y" by itself, so you had to move the "x" to the other side. Now you need to do the same thing with the other equation.
7x+y=20 This is the original equation.
-7x -7x Subtract 7x from both sides.
y=-7x+20 This is your equation.
So your two new equations are y=3x+10 and y=-7x+20. Now you simply graph each equation.
To graph y=3x+10, you first find the y-intercept, which is 10 (remember the y=mx+b formula). So from the middle of the graph (the origin), go up 10 units and put a dot. From that dot, move up 3 more units AND move right 1 unit. Put another dot there and connect the 2 dots. That is your line. Make sure that the line goes on and does NOT end.
Now do the same thing to the other equation. Wherever both lines cross is your answer. It should be a point on the graph in (x,y) form.

It really all depends on the class and the format (multiple choice, essay, etc).
Not trying to be rude, but please be more specific next time. :]

Every year since the seventh grade I have had one very large problem - School. Now, hey, everyone has a problem with school, but to delve deeper into the subject of school I realize my problem is not directly going there, it's just doing the work.
Throughout my life I have been lazy, I've tried to overcome it and at some points I do, however when I try and do school work I put it off until the last moment.
Studying for a test means 10 minutes of staring at the review and then I say "Okay, I'm done" and move on. Sometimes I do think I'm good to go, but I'm not.
The problem is I don't do my homework sometimes, if I do it, I make sure it is done in a quick and timely manner -meaning it sucks-
This year, my Junior year, is the first time I have ever failed on a report card, even worse, I failed twice.
I realize I have this problem, each year I cut it very close in some of my classes. I'm usually under great stress (though it usually isn't apparent, even to me. Only at certain times does it even really 'get' to me) and when under great stress I can usually pull my grades up. However, without that jumpstart, I don't do the work required.
I realize this, but for some reason I can't become disciplined enough to overcome this terrible problem.
The end of the marking period is once again coming to an end this week, and I'm once again, like usual, I'm cutting it close.
I worry that I will fail, however, I'm not asking "how do I pass my classes with 1 week left?"
I'm asking a broader question which is How do I overcome this problem of putting things off so much?
I fear I've hit rock bottom over the past two years due to the fact that I'm so used to missing turning in an asignment ( Which I usually try to turn them in) that when I dont' have it done I generally just say 'oh well, it's whatever' and blow it off. I've learned to cope with this lazy me, which is also making it much harder to overcome my problem.
Another thing is I have been tested for a.d.d. and I infact do have it. However, I refuse to take my medicine for it. I try to overcome this disability myself (which is also sometimes a problem because I miss out on certain assignments and homework due dates)
Could this pure lazyness I'm experiencing be an effect from my add? I don't think so, but it doesn't help in certain areas.
Are there any techniques I could set up and apply to my daily schedule to improve my work habits?
(link)
|
Hey. Well I'll try to help you.
I kind of have the same problem as you. I'm also a junior, and I have been hard-working in school until this year [all slack classes, if you know what I mean].
Basically, you need to think about your future. If you plan on going to college, then imagine what colleges will think when you have 2 F's on a report card. Even having 2 D's isn't impressive at all. But there is hope, which I will get into later.
Right now, this is what you need to do. Get home from school and work on your homework that takes the shortest time to complete, like a worksheet or bookwork. Make breaks in between the assignment. If there are 20 math problems, do 10 and take a break, or do 5 and take 4 breaks. The breaks should be no longer than 15 minutes.
Then move on to longer assignments, like projects and studying for tests. There are many different ways to study. I know that studying isn't the funnest thing to do, but believe it or not, it's easier than you think. I'm not the smartest person in the world, and I can memorize a full page of information in about 10-20 minutes if I study. Here is how I personally study: I go to the basement, make flashcards, walk around in circles, and talk out loud. Sometimes hearing the information helps more than reading it.
Anyways, if you continue to struggle, and if you plan on going to college, then there is a way to still get an education. Community colleges. Most of them accept anyone who has a high school diploma, so even if your GPA is a 2.0, you will probably be accepted. However, if you plan on transferring to a 4-year college AFTER that, then you need to get good grades and a stronger work ethic while at the community college. (4-year colleges will generally focus more on your college grades than high school grades).
Either way, you need to get your priorities in order. School comes first. Then a part-time job, if you have one, and THEN fun and friends.

I don't know if this is like a MO thing or what. But my teachers tell me that if I don't do well on my senior project I won't graduate high school. This being because I will fail Government without the project and Government is a requried class. I was just wondering if this is true and they won't let me graduate on time if I happen to not do so well on the project... (link)
|
They're trying to scare you. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume that every senior at your school last year graduated, except maybe the occassional person who skipped class every day.
Do you think every single senior did the project perfectly? Probably not, and I'm pretty sure some of them didn't do very well on it either. But they still graduated.
You will graduate if you do the project with some effort. Your school wouldn't deny you the right to graduate because your project isn't good. Unless you go to a fancy private school, you will graduate on time and everything will turn out fine.
There is another option, though. If you do the project and your school decides that you didn't do very well and worse comes to worse, you can still get a GED, which is equivalent to a high school diploma. 95% of colleges accept GED graduates, by the way.

ok so my teacher game me an F on a oral presentation, and when i asked why she said "it needed to be more heartwarming, cheesy, mushy..it need to make me cry for you to get an A" (she cries quite easily.. she cried during like 4 oral presentations so far! haha) anyways, im redoing the presentation and it's about "my favorite place" and i guess she wants me to say things like "this is where i learned to love" and thing equally cheesy (its going to be so embarrising doing this infront of my class!) but i need n A in this - so help! have you ever heard a heartwarming speech that moved you? and sentences or expression that are good to use?
thanks! (link)
|
Please don't rate this low. I am not going to tell you how to make your teacher cry.
I think that you should at least try to make her cry (again, I'm not suggesting how). But if it doesn't work and you still have an F, you need to tell your parents to talk to an administrator, because teachers are not supposed to determine grades based on if they cried. Your grade should reflect the effort you put into the presentation and the content of it, not if your teacher was emotionally moved by it.
|
no matter how i try to study... i just can't seem to be able to. are there any ways for studying?? i'm currently in the 9th grade and i passed every other grade 8 and under. but i think i should REALLY try this year. please give me some advice.
Mathematics: needs tons of work.
Social Studies: needs lots of work.
Spanish: i wanna get a head start on this language.
English: needs help with story writing.
thank you XD (link)
|
I haven't really been in your position before, but I think I can help.
Math: it really depends on what you are taking. Algebra, to me, is pretty simple. If you know the formulas you should pass the class, maybe not with an A, but with at LEAST a C (probably a B though). Formulas include distance, midpoint, slope, quadratic, slope-intercept form, standard form, and point-slope form. To know them, just make flashcards and do the homework. Most textbooks have the answers to selected practice problems in the back of the book. If you get something wrong, circle it and try it again to see what you did wrong.
Social Studies: this class is all about memorizing. Memorizing can be tough. You need to make acronyms (like USA stands for Unites States of America) and associations. At least I do. For example, if I had to know that in 1921 World War II began, I would think of it mathematically: 9+2 is 11, and the two 1's in 11 surround the date. Things like that stick, usually. And also, World War II is the same as WWII, which looks like WW11. See what I mean? Find small things. Also, think randomly of things that relate to your studies. Say I had to know that Socrates proposed the doctrine of recollection. I would probably think of my neighbor's dog (whose name is Socrates) and how he collects (recollection) bones. Then I would just picture my neighbor's dog in a lab coat (doctor, which sounds like doctrine) with a collection of bones. Do you see what I mean? I know it sounds silly, but it really helps.
Spanish: this class is like a mixture between Math and Social Studies. There is memorizing and understanding involved. If you really want to get something out of Spanish, study daily. I made flashcards for all my vocabulary and went through them daily. This took 5 minutes at most. Then I would pick about 5 to really try to learn. Then the next day, I'd do the same thing. Basically DO THE HOMEWORK and PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS. Most Spanish teachers don't actually check the homework for accuracy, they just want to see that you tried. Don't take advantage of this. Actually try to do it right.
English: writing takes time. I had some trouble with writing in 9th grade, too. What helped me was to ask my teacher before or after school to read my paper to see if it was good. She would make suggestions such as "Don't use the word ____ so much" or "Describe this in more detail". Teachers really do help. It doesn't even have to be YOUR teacher. Any English teacher who you know would do it for you.
I hope I helped.

Can you give me the low down of sigfigs? I do not want any nonsense answers, please.
Thanks a ton. (link)
|
I hated Chemistry. SigFigs were really confusing. If you still want help, here's what I can remember.
-All numbers 1-9 are sigfigs. Example: 9461 has 4 sigfigs
-All zeros between sigfigs are sigfigs. Example: 1000606 has 7 sigfigs
-All zeros ending a number with a decimal are sigfigs. Example: 38.0 has 3 sigfigs
-Zeros ending a number without a decimal are NOT sigfigs. Example: 3800 has 2 sigfigs
Here are some more examples.
5013500.600 has 10 sigfigs
83030 has 4 sigfigs
1 has 1 sigfig
10 has 1 sigfig
100,000,000 has 1 sigfig
100,000,000.0 has 10 sigfigs
1.0 has 2 sigfigs
3.20 has 3 sigfigs
I hope you understand it better.

I really need to know about high school. i am soooooo scared about it. in the movies, they make high school seem like hell. i know it won't be like the movies but i think it will be bad. i go to high school in one year for the first time. is it bad? or am i making it seem this bad? thanks! (link)
|
Remember the feeling you got when you were scared of moving from elementary to middle school, only to find out that it isn't hard at all? The transition from middle to high school is exactly the same. There's not as much homework, but there's more studying and note-taking. But it's super fun. I'm sad because I'm already halfway done. I remember freshman year like it was yesterday, or even 5 minutes ago.
No one really gives you a hard time [students and teachers included]. So no worries.

Last year I took Algebra 1, and I sucked at it, but it wasn't me, it was the teacher. At the end of the year she ended up passing everyone in my class by one or two points, probably to make herself look good, because we were all failing miserable. Point is, I'm still moving onto Geometry next year..but I know absolutely nothing about Algebra 1, I didn't get anything out of that class. My mom will be getting me a tutor outside of school & I have notes on Algebra 1 now. But my question is, is Geometry harder than Algebra 1? Or is it similar? Does it deal with Algebra 1 alot/at all? Thank you. (link)
|
I loved both Algebra 1 and Geometry.
In Geometry, no algebra is used whatsoever. The tests and homework in Geometry usually don't even have numbers. You will learn almost everything about every shape there is. Every chapter, you have to memorize about 5 rules (they are very easy rules). You must remember these rules! You use the rules to prove (or disprove) that a statement is true. For example, one test question might be a picture of a triangle (I'm being very basic). Under the triangle, you are given facts, like "This angle is the same size as this angle". Then, under THAT, you are asked to prove something, like "Prove that this side is the same length as this side". It's very hard to explain with words. Sorry! But no numbers are used unless to give you an angle measurement or the length of a line.
Nothing to fear. It's easier than algebra if you don't like math.

Okay, so, im 15, and im going into my first year at high school. Its summer and there is this soar program (summer school basically) the introduces me into algebra. The thing is, I am like majorly terrified! what will high school be like once the year starts? will the people be nice? the school is like a maze, im gonna get lost for sure, I am so scatter brained! What should do? Does any one have advice for starting the school year or surviving the treacherous mayhem of algebra and puzzling world I am now cursed with? (link)
|
High school is soo fun. Don't stress about it. Algebra is one of the funnest classes I've taken. I'm not the brightest student, and I got a 98 in it! Very easy, just pay attention in class.
People are nice, except the gangsters: AVOID THEM.
Teachers understand that you will get lost. And it isn't a possibility, it's a certainty: you will get lost. Even planning out where you'll go for each period won't solve the "maze" in your school. You'll get used to it though, because everyone does! :)
Someone else said that you should study as much as you can. Don't listen to that. If you study 2 days before a test and the day before a test, you'll do fine. I have crammed for so many tests and pulled numerous all-nighters in the past, and I still managed to get an A or B on them.
Good luck!

ok i am going to be a freshman and im not even going to try and hide it. i am very freaked out. my older sister says its no biggie but seriously i am a very sesitive person and i cant really handle getting teased or picked on without turning red or becoming insecure about whatever whoever happened to tease me about. and i am going to get lost (we dont get our scheds until the first day).
so does anyone have any advice about what to do on the first day or what NOT to do on the first day? advice with bullies, teachers, or red facedness will be greatly appreciated and rated. (link)
|
Freshman year is probably the second best year of high school (first is senior year). I was scared like you, but trust me, in one week you'll realise that it's just like middle school (but without all the stupid rules..and high school is funner).
I'm not gunna lie to you, there are b*tches in high school. Typically, the mean kids are the ones who are "gangster wanna-be's", if you know what I mean. Just avoid big crowds of kids who look like they get into trouble, because they are VERY mean. Other than that, everyone is usually nice (except for the occassional stuck-up cheerleader). Yes, there are clicks. There really are groups of band nerds, asian nerds, jocks, etc. You don't have to pick one, though.
Getting lost is totally normal. Teachers should understand, and for the first week or two, showing up late is okay. After that, you are expected to know your schedule and where your classes are. Don't worry, you will get used to it.
Kids won't pick on you unless you are really out there. For example, if you go to school dressed in an Easter bunny outfit, you will definitely be picked on. Also, if you sneeze weird, have an accent, or have an exotic haircut, you'll be noticed. Basically do what everyone else does unless you really want to stand out.
Teachers are generally nice. If you need help with homework or something, they're willing to tutor you. In movies, teachers are usually monotone and giving lectures to sleeping kids, but in reality, most teachers teach in interesting ways and have fun activities planned.
Don't stress. PLEASE. It is so much easier and funner than you think.

Hey! School will be starting soon and I want to start off a new year, fresh, organized, and fun. Mostly organized. Any tips? (link)

Fresh: make new friends. Lose old friends who are backstabbers. Like new people. Explore new things (new clubs, classes, sports, activities). Listen to different music. Become healthier by exercizing regularly and eating properly. Study in advance to avoid cramming.
Organized: go shopping for folders, pencil cases, dividers, and binders (this is the fun part!). Set aside each binder for each class you have. Label your dividers "Homework", "Notes", "Projects", "Tests", and "Worksheets" for each binder. Have extra dividers in case you need more. Set aside a time for you to study and do homework every day. Also set aside time for you to take a break and have fun. Keep a calendar in which you keep track of important reminders.
Fun: have something to do every weekend this year (shopping, movies, bowling, etc.). On weekdays, go outside when you finish your schoolwork. If it's raining, get on the computer (myspace, xanga, aim, e-mail). If it isn't, get out.

I have this problem. I used to get 100%'s in all of my math classes, including Algebra 1 and Geometry. But Algebra 2 made me get a 93 (I know, it's still an A, but I worked so hard for that A). Here's why I didn't understand it.
My teacher was a horrible teacher. I couldn't learn a thing from her, until my friend helped me.
What you should do is ask your teacher for extra help. If you still struggle, ask a different math teacher for help. If you continue having problems, then ask anyone and everyone for help: family members, homework hotlines, or just try reading the textbook. Ask for extra credit, too. What I found helpful for a chemistry class was a website online (unfortunately, it didn't offer math help, but many websites explain mathematics well).
I hope that I helped. Good luck!
