1. Find out what is going to be expected of you in class.
2. Keep track of your grade, ask your teacher how the grading system works.
3. Make sure the teacher knows you care about your grade and then do the things that prove you care.
4. While in class really try to pay attention and learn.
5. Don't cause problems in class. Fair or not, students with discipline problems often get lower grades.
6. Be on time every day.
7. When there is a sub be the one that ends up on the "good" report.
8. If you need help in class or someone to study with try to develop new friends that
are good or interested in the subject you are having trouble in. If you study with the people you hang out with you end up
not studying. Find people you get along with school but don't normally hang out with so that you actually study.
9. Bring your parents in to talk to your teacher. Once the teacher knows you really care and your parent
is concerned suddenly he/she becomes more concerned and aware of your situation. More than likely he/she will alert you if
your grade is going down/up.
