Set aside an entire weekend to get all of your homework assignments. Be sure to split up your study time with plenty of breaks, snacks, rewards, and energizers!

Focus on the most important tasks ahead of you, even if they aren't necessarily urgent. Homework assignments and long-term projects are both good examples of this.

Question

What if my teacher hates me?

Community Answer

Whether or not your teacher likes having you in the class, s/he should be able to help you. Don't be afraid to ask him/her for help when you need it. That's what s/he is being paid to do. If you know why the teacher dislikes you, you might -- for the sake of your grade -- consider making a change (if that's possible).

1) Ask them to stop. 2) Ask your teacher to ask them to stop. 3) Ask to be moved or have the other people moved.
