Question Posted Wednesday November 9 2005, 10:59 am
im 13 and in the 8th grade. school is getting so hard for me! i have about 1 1/2 to 2 hours of hoework everynight. homework in every subject too. is there any way i can get it done faster or make more time for it? i recently switched to spanish becasue french was getting to hard too.
There is nothing you can REALLY do to speed it up
significantly, other than not doing it right.
Some things that would help a little, though, are:
*Always working on weekends so you have no homework to do by the time Monday rolls around.
*Working as soon as you get home so you're still in a 'work mood'.
*Every half hour, take a quick break. Walk around, walk the dog, do something that gets you moving and your circulation going again!
*Have plently to drink. A 2% lack of water leads to 10% decrease in concentration!!
*Get a good night's sleep, and don't leave work til the last minute or you'll get stressed.
Finally, if it's really stressing you out, talk to your teachers about it. If you often finish your work early in class, you could ask do be allowed to start doing your homework as extension work. Just speak to them and see what they can do about reducing the work load!

BUT! if things get really tough and tahts still not enough time i even do my homework sometimes while my teachers teaching the class and has already posted the homework. or sometimes i get the hw from my friend thats in the same class only at a dif. time. (now i no thats not the kind of advice i should be giving you but...LOL) try your best and good luck [ myusername1's advice column | Ask myusername1 A Question ]

to make things easier for you .. just listen in class.. thats about it. because if you listen - you understand it better an will be able to do it faster.
