It was completely awful, guilty for doing that, a made up series. trouble.well when we were in class, our teacher whispered closely to one another ofcourse it must be something embarrasing against me.If  I am not mistaken they were gossiping about the letter. now my maths teacher knows. too scared to be back at school, its a lack of humiliation here guys.help.see, i had this deal with my friend i would recieve goood grades, look at me now, all confused. i really need help here......please!tommorow is official.

I agree with the poster who said make sure you have things written down.  You didin't explain how old your child is or what type of problem you are having, so this might not even apply.\n\nMy daughter had a problem when she was in seventh grade.  She never did learn cursive writing (still hasn't learned it and she now has an undergraduate degree with a double major and is working on a masters).  In 7th grade her teacher held her work up in class one day to show all the examples of what NOT to do in a writing assignment.  Then he went on and told the next class about it as well when someone came back into class and said that my daughter was crying in the washroom - he explained to them why she was probably crying. He also made a sarcastic comment to her as she was leaving that day and she made a nasty comment back to him then.  She was in tears when she got home and very upset.\n\nMy response to her was that she needed to write a letter to the principal and explain what happened and why she was upset.  I told her she needed to give the teacher a copy of the letter because you can't make a complaint about someone in writing without giving them  a copy.  Her letter was two pages long.  The end result was that the teacher had to apologize to my daughter.  \n\nSo my advice is be diplomatic and follow sensible channels.  Be calm.  Put things in writing if they are not resolved with the usual contacts.  If your child is old enough (by fourth grade they can usually state their case quite well) make sure the child is involved in stating the case and the problem.  If there is a meeting my preference would be to have the child there and let him explain what is wrong.\n\nIf necessary get the principal involved.  Hopefully you won't have to take it beyond the principal.  Most principals want a peaceful school and like ot get issues resolved.\n\nI hope this helps.

> I need to get back into work mode, which has seem to left me a long time ago.\n\nGreat! Count this as your first step towards doing something about it. This is a joyous moment! Be happy about it!\n\n> Right now I just feel like asking philisophical questions to myself, playing video games, thinking about girls, talking with my friends, and sleeping.\n\nCongratulations, David, you're normal. Welcome to the world of knowing your responsibilities and being mindful of your existence. Sorry if that sounds odd, but really I think you've partly answered your own question here already. First, though, it's obvious that you need to get motivated. Isn't being in "deep peril" motivation enough? I assume that would mean failing at school, or not meeting some other important work requirements? But what's more important? Is it girls and friends (be honest with yourself), or taking responsibility for what's important right now? Think about this, though: All those things keeping you from "entering reality" (as you put it) will still be there after your school stuff is finished. The thing that's even cooler is you'll probably appreciate them much more than you do right now. Plus, they'll still be there while you're focusing on school. It's not like one or the other. Yes, balance is the key here! Of course there's the outside chance that your behaviour is somewhat psychologically imbalanced. In this case, David, I recommend that you have a chat to a school counsellor, parent, or a local psychologist. Anyway, good luck and go get 'em on your studies! Really hope this helps.

yeah that's right. \nmaybe there was another part of the question you got wrong, or maybe it was just a mistake? try asking your teacher about it.

I would be upfront with your parents and show them the paper.  Then I would discuss why you didn't do as well as usual.  Did you understand the content?  Do you need to get some extra help from the teacher?  Your parents will appreciate you coming to them, rather than trying to hide it from them.  Also, if half the class failed, it is apparent you were not the only student who had trouble.  I would ask your teacher about going over the work again.

I had a similar problem a couple wks ago. My sons teacher was labeling him and picking him. I was getting notes every single day just about from his teacher. I was really sure what was going on because he had been making A-B honoroll. Anyways I went up there and spoke with her, found that she had moved him and ONLY HIM to a different part of the class room so he could pay attention. I was not having that since he was making good grades all year long and still is. He said he wasn't misbehaving or disruptive, so I didn't know what the hell the problem was. I also spoke with the principal and asked that my son be moved or we were taking it to the school board. We just put our foot down(husband and I)and let them know that we were serious and wanted it to be resolved. Because he wasn't gonna learn if he's getting discouraged by his teacher. I don't know what grade your sons in, but my son is in 2nd grade. And don't think that you guys are being a pain in the butt or an inconvenience to the "school", because that is your son. I was getting on to my kid every time that I was getting a note, but it wasn't him, I guess the teacher decided to pick on him. And as far as the school staff, who cares what they think of you, but once they start picking or being ugly to your son. Id take it a step further and contact the school board. Good luck!!

What is the environment? How old are you? By the sounds of it, you need to fail whatever grade you're in and start all over again. Geez, what are they teaching kids these days?

I was in the 6th grade sitting in class when All off the sudden I got this very strange warm but wet feeling. Of course at the time I didn't know what was happening, but I knew something wasn't right. I asked my teacher numerous times if I could be excused to go to the rest room and her reply was no because we were in the middle of testing. Well, I began to  become agitated because I kept getting this feeling. My teacher became angry with me and told me that I had detention after school along with my crush who was sitting right next to me. She ordered us to write "I will not disrupt the class" 600 times and when we were done to bring it to her desk; then after-wards we could be excused. I finished my work before my crush did. (he was so cute) I got up and looked in my seat and sat back down because I was shocked by what I saw. My teacher got up from her desk and asked if I were done and I said no which I was. She came over to check and said "yes you are, and now you may go home". I must have sat there about 20 minutes before I got up. She forced me to leave and my crush laughed out loud while I ran out of the class room straight to the nurses office who had gone home for the day. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

I actually had this problem in the tenth grade when I was attending high school. The difference was that I was the one who was constantly asking friends to let me copy their work, and it was only because I wouldn't do my homework and used people. It got to the point where my friends refused to let me copy offf of them and then one day a friend snapped at me telling me to do my own damn work! when my friend showed how annoying I was, it really hurt, yet I knew what she was talking about. So I didn't ask anymore and instead I did my work. Last attempt though, if the girl keeps on, tell her that you don't have time to help her, but if she really doesn't understand it, tell her to get tutoring. You could talk to your teacher after class and exlpain the problem while not making it out like your friend's a cheater, and encourage your teacher to call a one on one tutor session to break the ice. The important thing is to stand up for yourself!

Forward the original email to the teacher.  Tell him what you did and then give him the hard copy if he wants it.  If he sees that the email was sent on time - that it was just an error on the address, it will probably be ok.  \nGood luck!  Be honest and all should be fine.

First of all, don't panic!   Everyone went through it! (even us old fogeys!)\n\nWhat I have suggested to my son is to make sure you do the homework the day you get it.   That way, if you are having any problems, you have a chance to talk to the teacher before the homework is due!   If you leave it til Sunday, you will be overwhelmed! - and teachers will not believe you didn't do the homework because you had problems (it's on a par with my dog ate it!)\n\nWith regard to revision, you need to find a way that you are comfortable for revision.   some people prefer silence, others prefer listening to their favourite songs.   Some people like to lie on the floor, some on the bed, some sitting at a desk.   Do whatever suits you.   But do not prevaricate - get everything organised before you start (drink, pens, paper and so on).   Then do your revision in 20 or 30 minute chunks (not including getting books out and putting them away!.   Then, every hour (ie, after 2 or 3 subjects), have a break.\n\nI found the best way to revise is to read through notes again and again, making notes of things I need to remember.    Your teacher may have given you clues as to what may be coming up in the exams.   If you can, work through old papers, using your school notes.   You do not have to do it under exam conditions - and you do not need to write an essay, just jot points down.   It will also give you some ideas of what sort of questions you will get. \n\nWhen doing exams, there should be a mark for each question.   If a question is only worth 1 mark, do not spend long on it;  however a question that is worth 25% of the marks, it is worth spending longer on it!!!   The way I did exams was to jot down points that I could remember for each question before I started writing.   You will have had practice at this when jotting down answers in your revision.   That way, I was able to easily see what I could remember most about.   \n\nthe amazing thing is that if you do revise, you will find things do stay in your head, even though you think they haven't.\n\nIf you are struggling in some subjects, ask your teachers for some extra help.   If you have exams coming up, you should find that all the homework is relevant!\n\nSo calm down - worrying will get you nowhere!   We are all rooting for you!

Wonder why you were just as dumb for being his girlfriend.  And if he gets good grades, he isn't all that dumb....maybe it's not him, but you.  If you were so smart, you wouldn't have numerous grammatical errors....\n\nOh and by the way, he must really love school if he's there when he's supposed to be suspended....\n\nReally, you both seem pretty dumb in my opinion....like my response or not....you're dumb enough to post it...I just wanted my two points.  Thanks dummy!
