Don't fret, Markio. I am 120% sure I'm doing WAY worse than you would ever do. 7-9th grade are the years where you don't really give a crap, procrastinate, and just leave it in neutral for the year (or reverse, if bad enough). Now, I don't wanna bust your bubble, but you must make THREE 100s to bring a 0 up to a 70. If one zero kills you, three zeros is torture then death. I was doing worse than that for the whole first semester and failed 3 classes, for the semester. That is definitely not good for me. I'm not stupid, but it's all procrastination. I must really kick butt to pass, but procrastination is still wanting to hold me back. The ONLY thing that kills you is homework. If you do all of your homework fairly well, you're in the clear. Just don't screw up your homework. It's weird for me; barely get HW in, but never fail (or even have a low grade) for minor or major tests, even if I don't study. Tests won't play a huge part, but they still are in the equation. I have been trying to fix the homework problem for all classes and in the third six weeks, but payed off by going from a 50-something in English, to a 91. Algebra 1 is still killing me. I have failed it every six weeks because I was being lazy. In reading, it is low because of the stupid AR (Accelerated Reader) crap. I must get 20 points every six weeks. If I don't, I say bye-bye to my average. My semester grades for those three classes were failing of course, but at least my 3rd six weeks grades were raised (except Algebra). I believe that I must make an 81 next semeseter in reading to pass for the year.
If I don't kick butt, it's curtains for me. I used to be the best kid ever in 6th, but now that I've hit junior high, it has gone downhill since.
Here's a chart of my grades so you know that you're doing better then me, Markio, and that others may view to see what I must do to pass (grades for the failing classes only so far):
1SW 2SW 3SW EXAM Sem A.
______________________________
Reading-/50 / 50 / 54 / 90 / 59 /
Algebra-/61 / 52 / 51 / 41 / 52 /
English-/55 / 65 / 69 / 85 / 67 /
NOTE: SW stands for "Six Weeks."
EXAM stands for "Semester Exam."
Sem A. stands for "Semester Average."
I can't believe the classes I'm failing have exactly seven letters...
I don't know what happened to me over these two years and I don't know what grades I must make for the semester to even the grades out...
I wish I knew...
