Grounded

[Ivan Strider]

So apparantly I have ONE F on my report card and I'm grounded for a week or more starting tomorrow, but I might use My 3DS to come on. Don't expect me to be on much for a week or more.

[Scorpio]

That sucks. Sorry.

[Light]

F as in a class? Or F as in a assignment but still passing the class

For first one, good you deserve it

But if its for the second, your parents are too strict

[Star Magician]

One week isn't that bad really. Back in the day when I was 13 (wow I'm old), one F would have brought forth the fires of hell once my parents saw it. >.> I came pretty close a couple times. Since our school system was focused around anti-learning and praise of sub-mediocrity, I had little motivation to make any effort.

[Ivan Strider]

Well what doesn't help is that the teacher in my L.A. class SUCKS. She is a horrible teacher. She asks to write long bios and wants them in the next day. She also never lets us get work done in class because she talks to much and will lower your grade if you don't listen.

[CHEESE4ALL]

Hang in there buddy.  I know your pain.  We all get those every now and then.

[Ivan Strider]

Its the only bad grade I have. Everything else is A's and B's

[Scorpio]

Then be grateful you're smart in those arenas, and work as hard as you can in the other next time. Do your best and don't be afraid to ask for hel and you'll be fine.

[CHEESE4ALL]

Yes.  Ask for hel   

[Ivan Strider]

Except that teacher gives bad help.

[CHEESE4ALL]

But good hel.    With an extra L.

[Scorpio]

Help does not have to come from a teacher. Look it up online, ask a different teacher, maybe even ask a student. All that matter in the end is you. Do what's best for you. Even if it's not fun, you may just have to swallow that teacher's bad teachings, and just go look up a better explanation online.

[CHEESE4ALL]

Try not to do online.     Try a previous teacher,  or if you're at a different school, just try another teacher who seems friendly.   They're usually flattered to be preferred over another teacher.        Next try another student who seems to really get it, don't copy, make sure you understand what they're saying, or you might end up with advice from someone who really knows less than you.    As a last resort the internet, because it's often a flood of too much info that doesn't answer your original question.    No matter what, always double check with a teacher.

I always considered other students to be the last resort. However, that was only the case when I was young and still in public school because I was pretty shy way back then. I learned to be a bit more resourceful because of it though.
