highschool is my 2nd home


Question Posted Saturday May 7 2005, 5:34 pm

I'm a sophmore in highschool and I love absolutely love my school. The problem is, I don't get perfect grades. My mom wants me to be one of those hard-working, studying all the time kind of students and it's just not me. I do try hard and my grades are good. I'm not failing and I don't even cut any classes. She now wants to transfer me to a private school next year. She's serious about it and I'm worried/scared of leaving the school I've gotten used to for 2 years and starting a new school for my junior year. What can I do to get her to change her mind?

I'd say tell her how you feel. Tell her that you really like your school, and you try the best you can. If you really love your school, fight for it! You're a good student, and you have to let your mother know this. Hope everything works out all right!

Hey, try and get your grades up. I know its hard and that it will take a lot of work but you can do it or have you teachers talk to your mom and have them tell her that you are a hard working person and that you are trying your hardest. ~~goodbye~~

The best thing to do is study a lot. If you have have those grades she wants you to get, that takes off the reason for you to go to another school. Maybe you can also try to tell her how much it would scare/hurt you to leave your junior year. <3

My advice is to hitt the books. You have to raise your grades for a while just long enough to convice your mom that you can stay at that school. I think you should talk to your mom and tell her that she can't make you into something you're not. Try to make her understand that you can't alwasy get the perfect grades. Trust me you don't want to go to private school.

Well maybe you could study harder in school that way you aren't failing any of your classes maybe your mom will change your mind about you transfering to a different school once she sees how hard you are working and how your grades have been going up and you are not failing any classes try to even go for honor roll or high honors or just sit your mom down and tell her that you donot want to move to another school and tell her that if you do then it would be a new atmosphere for you and it wouldn't be the same as your old one and you could tell her if she just gave you a chance you could change and work harder in school to get your grades up and focus more on school.

most people in skool dont do bad becuase they're 'stupid' or 'dumb' or any shit like dat... its just that you aren't ment to learn in a skoo enviroment. i am a do-it kinda guy, i learn threw doin what i'm learning while other people might like to learn by being told. you shold probably tell your mom that changing skools wont help. if anything it will make it worse cause you will have to work harder cuz it a private skool, make new friends, and yur parents will have to pay more. show them that you love the skool your at and make sure they no that you really try and that its got nothin to do wit da skool. i hope i helped
