I think that all of my grades were deserved except for Biology. I got a C in his class because in the beginning of the year, I missed the first 3 days because the school doesn't do anything but host a scavenger hunt and anticipate you for design challenges that you never do. But I was graded off of a fire drill that happened and some other thing. From there it was to hard to get my grade up and it kept me at a B-, then I missed some paper and it dropped me down to a C+.
I learned that whoever said learning another language was easy was a complete liar. Spanish is like my hardest class next to Geometry. Although I did learn alot of new phrases in spanish. Like "Me gusta fried chicken."
I really don't have a way to better my studies because as of right now all of my grades are pretty good. In the past, I never should've missed the first few days since a lousy paper was able to drop down to a C+.
Next quarter, I'd like to see that some of the teachers actually care for all of this work i'm doing, like some field trip or some type of reward or something. I get a good grade while everyone else is eating or on their phone and the only "reward" I get from that is the fact that I get good grades.
I hope my grades can stay above a C because alot of people consider C's ok, but I consider them being bad. I also hope to be able to understand geometry a little better because when ever Mr.Ezepue talks, my ears only get a bunch of useless numbers.
Tyrone,
ReplyDeleteFrankly, I'm surprised at this. You're an intelligent guy. You understand the value of good grades and success in school. While I understand the frustrations of not being rewarded immediately, trust me - the good grades that you receive now are well worth the effort.
Also, don't think of them as a gift or a reward. They are the result of hard work and effort. A gift and a reward is something that is given. There is a huge difference.
Keep up the good work. You sound incredibly frustrated, but you can always come and talk to me, even if you just need to get some anger off your chest.
