If it was given to you fairly, use it as incentive to work harder. Maybe ask your teacher what you can do to improve. If it was given to you unfairly, politely ask the teacher to change it. If he/she will not, file a formal complaint.

Talk to the teachers about what you can do and do it well. Finish up all missed assignments and if possible do extra credit work. Good luck.

Go to every class unless you are Deathly sick. If you miss one class..you get behind and it's hard to catch up.Don't wait till the last minute to do your papers, homework, etc. Always plan in case of an emergeny --don't cram..you don't learn a lot when you cram. Go to bed early..sleep well..It helps in your studies..you don't fall asleep while you are reading

HEY! I am just going to go into 6th grade. My 5th grade teacher was EXTREMELY hard. I just tried to get by the day by thinking of things that make me happy. I try not to let my teacher get on my nerves and just except what she does and take it as it comes. Good Luck!

ask her why you are getting the bad grade, maybe you can work out your differences. If not, then do your best so that your teacher has to mark the answers right. If she still marks them wrong, then go to the pricipal etc.

I used to be a straight A student last year. But I was a lazy straight A student and I crammed all the info in one day before the tests. I paid more attention in class and took more notes. I didn't procrastinate and I tried to do my work quietly in a room.\nBut this year, I do my work while watching television, I procrastinate and instead of trying to get homework done as asap, I save it til the morning or wait til homeroom to work on it. I don't take any notes in class and I'm still trying to cram everything into my head one day before the test except now it's harder to do so cause I have material to read. Now I have mostly B's and a C in analytical math.\nSo...in conclusion, work quietly, don't procrastinate, read everything and take notes... that should get you an A in your class. Make sure you understand what you're reading; don't just read it, understand it!\nIf you have the chance to do extra credit, take it! Don't try to bribe your teacher though. Good teachers like students who want to learn and will do extra credit to learn no matter how much points  the extra credit is worth. If you try to bribe your teacher, it might give them a bad impression. Don't cheat; if you get caught you might get kicked out and it will also give your teacher a bad impression of you. Participating more in class will give your teacher a good impression of you because it shows that you're willing to learn.

do all your homework first before doing anything else like watching tv...trust me, I'm a huge procrastinator and i'm still learning how to manage my time also\n\ni know it's hard to follow my advice but when you actually follow through, you'll feel so thankful...bcuz then u can have time to do fun things\n\ni'm in high school and this year has been really stressful and i try to not procrastinate as much...if i don't do hw until the last minute, i am staying up all night...i've pulled so many all-nighters, even staying up as late as 4 am (and i only got 2 hours of sleep)...\ndon't do the same thing i did (staying up) cuz you'll just feel like crap when u go to school that morning\n\nso, DO HOMEWORK RIGHT AWAY AND DON'T PUT IT OFF TO THE LAST MINUTE!!! or else your grades will suffer!\n\nhope this helps...=]

You need to explain to him/her why you have earned a better grade and you also need to demonstrate your knowledge.  Before you go asking, make sure you know the material in the class very well so that you can show him/her at your meeting.  Also offer to do some sort of extra credit or project.  If any of your grades were sub-par be sure to explain what happened and why it won't happen again.

Try and relax. You need to sleep every bit as much as you need to study. If you did well in all your classes this year then you should have nothing to worry about unless you are a bad test taker. I was a bad test taker....I was lucky to have professors that knew that and graded me on my class work and homework.\n\nI wish you the best of luck and relax! You can do it.

lay down the law with her. tell her that for not getting good grades or not doing it u can take away priviledges. that should persuade her. if not, tell how much it hurts u to see her get bad grades. tell her u want to see her succeed in life and that she cant do that without doing her homework.  also, dont just take away priveledges, set aside time to check up on her. if she is doing badly, lower her allowance or take away more valued priveledges, like friends or phone. then again u dont want her to hate u, so dont come down hard on her the 1st time. but if the bad behavior and grades continue, start getting stricter. she needs to know you mean when u say it. if u say 'the next time you get a C or lower, your grounded', when she gets a C, follow up on it. she'll probably remember those words and say to herself ' moms not serious about this grade thing'. ur words need to be powerful, but not overwhelming.

the easiest way to get your grade back to where you want them, is to take the subjects your lagging in, wutever your having problems with try to break it down into something you enjoy, like science is broken down into simple everyday things and the same for math and what not so just try to focus wut your having issues with into being able to function again, science is as simple as eating a pizza and math as easy as doing the dishes you just have to find a way to look at it like that

Okay from one procrastinator to another...Ignore that really BAD advice from those folks so not like us.  I am the Student Body President for my University so trust what I say...My first semester was easy.  I was so nervous about flunking out that I did really well in my classes.  However, I will give you some advice to ease first semester.  NEVER take financial aids word on anything.  It's like a doctor, seek a second opinion.  Second, do not be afraid to go talk to your professors. Trust me they like it when you try and get things right (It saves them time.)  Almost all schools have a tutoring center or a person they can recommend, so if you need help...get it!  Also get involved with your Student Government.  I cannot tell you how much networking I have done just from being involved.  Put it this way if I am having trouble or need something fixed...one phone call.  Also for some more academic advice, always review your note right after class or the same day.  I have done it for so long, I barely have to study (and believe me I'm NOT that kind of student)!  Also try and do your homework within that day.  Yes, I know it’s hard but trust me it’s easier!  Oh and for your English class, go to your professor’s office and check out their books and see what interest them.  My instructor had a bunch of feminist books, so I started writing my papers about women, and my grade went from a C to an A, in a flash.  Hit me back if you have any other questions or want anymore pointers!! I got truck loads of tips for the procrastinators!!(We have to stick together)!

School is tough, but remember that once you graduate and leave you won't have to deal with them any longer.\n\nBe polite.  Say hello, ask them how they are, but you don't have to be any nicer than that to them.  Ignore them, and you'll get through.\n\nGood luck!

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!

First of all--stop being so hard on yourself.  You have a great GPA.  You should be proud of yourself for being able to do so well in challenging classes with a learning disability.  You have what it takes--don't give up--and it will pay off for you eventually.
