i dont know how to tell her..


Question Posted Sunday September 11 2005, 10:47 pm

okay well on my progress report i got a 75 in 1 of my advanced classes. well my mom told me to pull it up or no more football games(which i love) & i would be grounded forever..well on my AR tests i got an 80/300 so it pulled my grade down to a 50 & i have this paper my mom has to sign with my grade average on it. i got it on thursday but ive hidden it because im scared to show her. my scores arent really my fault though. the books i read 2/3 of them werent AR. so it led me to have to take 1 test on a book i never read & i got a 20 & the other i was almost finished but not quite & i got a 60. what should i do? im really scared to show her..

I never liked showing my mom my grades either. You can either try to explain it calmly and that you did as much as you could and that you will bring up your grade and just take whatever she's going to give. I used to break down in tears about it and then she'd feel sorry and know I was trying. No I'm not one to sob a lot, but I can cry on cue. It works. Otherwise forge her signature. Many ways of doing that, depending on your skills...first I used to take an old signature of hers on paper and place it directly over where she needed to sign...trace the lines and press hard to leave an impression on the paper and then go carefully fill it in. Later on though my mom grew tired of signing papers and let me sign everythng so her signature was mine...if it's a teacher you've never had, how will they know your mother's signature. :) Mind you I was in honors courses and a very good student...so everyone does it. Good luck. Don't stress. It's one class...your life doesn't depend on it...truly it doesn't. Advanced too...always take that into consideration in your arguments. Would she rather you took an easier class and did exceptional, or actually tried to learn and push yourself.

i hate how the skools putting school first because some ppl are just better at other things. but i would just show your mom and get it over with because if she knows youre hiding it you could get in more trouble. but i mean if you wanna be on the sneaky side get her autograph and if you have a copyer tape it on the paper and copy it makeing sure that the teacher cant tell that you taped it on the real copy. That way your mom wont know. but if you dont want to take that risk then id tell her. i mean you cant help it. skool gives alot of work and its hard to keep up with.. im about in the same mess..
hope i helped and god luck!

We all know that privilages are earned not just handed to us. If you really wanted to go to the football game(s) then you should have done your work.

Now your in a jam...what to do?
Make up your grades. ask the teacher for extra credit to boost your average.

Show the paper to your mom and let her know that you are doing all you can to bring it up. when you show her, show all the extra credit that your teacher has given to you.
That will prove to your mom that you are trying.

If a teacher knows that you are serious about your work then she would most likely not have a problem helping you out.

Good luck~ =)
