School troubles: struggling
Hi. I'm in the seventh grade and am terrified about what I might get as a result on my reprot card. I never got off the honor role in my life of being in school. I get all A's and 1 B, and other times just all A's. I'm not trying to boast or brag or anything. I got 3 zeros in science, 1 D, and maybe I think 3 A's. My grade's shouldn't be going down like this because I know I can do better than that. The 1st quarter ends on October 20. Is there anyway I can improve my grade to an A by then. If so, please respond to this question. Thanx!

I think right now your main priority is to focus on school! =) Make sure that right when you get home from school everyday you go straight to your homework because it's all fresh in your mind. Talk to your science teacher and see if you could so some extra work to hopefully boost your grade =)
Try to read over what you did at school when you get home, and study, study, study for those tests and quizes!
Tell me how you do, hun! =)

Dear Terrified,
I'm in eighth grade and I had the same issue in seventh grade. I figure that when all else fails, do extra credit. Sometimes I don't get things in and it's too late, I leap for extra credit and hope for the best. I was on honor roll in fifth grade, and by the time I got in seventh I just didn't care about my grades, but that was a mistake. I barely scraped by the year with all C's and a B...and that F in P.E. Extra credit, trying hard on huge projects...try that out. It almost killed me, but I made it, right?
Good luck,
Osiris

Talk to your teacher about it - he or she may be able to recommend some solutions, or give you some extra credit work to help get your grade up. Since it seems like you consistently have good grades, it's likely your teacher will take mercy on you. Just make sure you check your answers, compare your answers with a friend's, and read the sections in your textbooks that you're studying in class.

Wow, well if ur 3 zeros are homework grades im sure theyr not gonna make a huge impact on your grade. Usually homework is about 20% of ur grade and if theres alot of homework its no big deal. Now about that test grade, go talk to ur teacher and ask if there is anything you could do to raise that grade up to a passing mark. If you try a little harder and hand in things on time...i think you'll be ok. And dont worry if you end up with like one B, u wont get letter grades after awhile. Im in 10th grade taking 11th grade math and i think a 88 in that class is great. So i hope you get that mark up, and if you dont...DONT WORRY!

Doubtful, it depends on your grading policy. But ask for extra credit and ask your teacher how you can get an A or a B.
Good luck.

First and foremost, I think you must figure out the true reason for your declining grades. You may already know it, but simply didn't offer that information in your question. If that is the case and you do know the reason, great. If not, I urge you to spend some time reflecting on what happened to drop your grades so significantly. If you don't know why your grades have dropped, then you might not be able to stop it from happening again.
If I remember correctly, it was in about seventh grade that I found I wasn't able to sneak by on my intelligence alone anymore and that I actually had to apply myself, be organized, do homework, study and pay attention in class to get the same "A" that used to come so naturally. Unfortunately, instead of figuring out quickly that with some small adjustments to my daily routine, I could incorporate the necessary work pretty easily, I continued to do my best to slide by doing as little work as possible and my grades never really recovered. (Please forgive the ramble if this does not apply to you in the least). If any of this rings true for you, however, I suggest that you talk to friend, family member or trusted adult who is good at prioritizing their time and organzing their life and ask them to help you set up a system that works for you.
If your grades have slipped because of drama going on in your personal life, then hopefully that has passed and you can find a way to get focused back on school again. If the drama is still going on and continues to effect your schoolwork, you may need to talk to someone (parent, friend, counselor at school). You seem very concerned about your grades which tells me that you are a serious student and it's just too easy to get off track at your age. If you need some help, please don't be afraid to get it.
Either way, if you are truly committed to doing better in school, then you should set up a time to talk to your teachers and explain to them that you know that you are an "A" student, that you feel awful about letting your grades drop and then ask if there is anything you can do before the end of the quarter to get your grade up.
However, you should realize that the teacher is under no obligation to give you an extra opportunity or cut you any slack, so being humble and sincere is your best approach. And, if they do go out on a limb and give you a second chance to climb out of your "D" situation, then please make the most of it. Best of luck to you.
Kind wishes,

You should talk to your teacher(s) because we wont know. But just study for tests & do all your work and pay attention in class..Just ask the teachers what you need to do to get an A! Good luck:)
