Michele answered Friday April 22 2005, 9:59 pm: You said you are not sure whether or not your teacher is giving extra credit. Well......FIND OUT! Duhh!. I don't know of any teacher that won't let you bring up a grade by volunteering to do extra work. Ask her/him nicely. Be respectful, and no matter what they suggest, don't whine about it. DO IT.
impykid07 answered Friday April 22 2005, 9:28 pm: This is one of those senarios that photo copiers where made for...
First, take your original report card and make 2 copies of it...
Next, take one copy and cut out the grade you would like to have, then paste that grade in the appropriate slot...
MAKE SURE IT'S STRIAGHT AND LINED UP!
Now, make another copy of your new and improved report card!
Of coarse, it's always acceptable to just start studying, asking your parents for help, and just being honest with them, they should understand. [ impykid07's advice column | Ask impykid07 A Question ]
Dumbblond1chick answered Friday April 22 2005, 9:12 pm: Believe me i know exactly how you feel. Alright tell your parents that you dont need to hear anything about your grades from them and that its already bad enough and how your so upset and you wish you didnt mess up so badly this year make sure to say that you will try harder. As for bringing up your grades talk to your teachers and say that you have never done this badly and if there was anything you can do to bring it up and if there are any extra credit assignments. If there arnt any ask if they could make any for you. Hope i helped [ Dumbblond1chick's advice column | Ask Dumbblond1chick A Question ]

Anyway, explain why it happened--even if it means admitting you didn't study etc. Take responsibility for your mistakes. And change it. You can do better, and if you explain that you are trying your hardest to get it back up, I don't see why they would be mad at you.
sadf16 answered Friday April 22 2005, 8:51 pm: Ask yourself first. Are you so sorry for failing? Then if it's yes then are you willing to accept the consequences? If yes then when there's a time that your parents are in a good mood then have a heart-to-heart talk with them but if you still have a chance to make better grades then take the chance. Do better next time and don't let any problems interfere. Just show to your parents how sorry you are and tell them that you'll do your best next time.
