Shaylee answered Monday December 6 2004, 2:14 am: Okay well firstly start paying attention in class. I know this is hard but just do it and if you don't get something- then put your hand up and ask. That is what the teacher is for, if you are shy then go up after class. The teacher likes it when students come up and want to learn what they are teaching ITS BECAUSE THEY LOVE US!!! (no its because it doesn't hurt their ego and reflects well on them if their students don't fail).
So study- spend 30 minutes a day (at least I don't know what grade you are in) revising what you did that day. Do your homework and have a quick overview of the work you did in class. If you don't do this you will just forget it all. Seriously its easy to learn... hard to remember. Work on tihs and then you can get the highest mark available.
Remember its not the smartest person who gets the best score- its the person who studies the hardest that gets the best score. Good luck [ Shaylee's advice column | Ask Shaylee A Question ]

Im deff not going to be able to get into college lol. Look into ADD or ADHD thats what i have n thats what makes it so hard for me to get good grades. When im on medication for that i get high grades. SO do some research on it and see if you have ne of the symptoms and talk to ur parents about it [ ilovehissmile's advice column | Ask ilovehissmile A Question ]
Mandee answered Sunday December 5 2004, 3:28 pm: I can't help you learn geometry and English, you have to do it yourself. If you want this really bad you'll work for it. Because you don't understand any geometry and IPC you need to get help from somebody. I'm sure someone will tutor you. Ask the teacher after class if she or he has any suggestions. Sometimes people learn better when it's just one on one instead of in a group. If you have some kind of study hall ask if you can come down whenever they have free time or stay after school so that they can explain it to you better. You are better than the average...and your parents probably know that. Once they see all of the effort that you are putting in to this to get better grades they will think you are very intelligent. You know that you can do it, and never ever lose that because you can get over this, I promise. It's hard and it may take you a few times before you get it right but when you bring those grades up youw ill feel better about yourself and your parents will be proud. Don't start slipping now. Once you get into college the work never ends and it's all up to you because no one else will help you, you have to do it yourself. So getting into the habit earlier is excellent and you'll be ready for future years. Always ask for help. You can do this! Haha, good luck sweetie.
Love,
