  • Question
    I think my math teacher wants to help me, but she gets really mad at the people who have bad grades. How do I ask her for extra credit? What can I do? (I'm in 7th grade, by the way.)
    Community Answer
    I'm also in seventh grade. Ask her after class if you can come to her after school or during lunch to ask some questions because you were confused about a couple of things. (Keep a post-it note on a top corner of your desk and write down questions as you think of them during class.) She will probably appreciate that you are trying to bring your grade up. The one thing that teachers hate more than kids with bad grades is kids with bad grades who don't care or try to do better.

    Can I hang with friends after I've studied even if my grades are poor?

    You shouldn't completely isolate yourself from your friends for your grades, but it's important to know if you truly grasp the concepts you are learning. Are you studying or just zooming through your notes to go somewhere with your friends?

    How do I find time for myself while trying to keep up my good grades?

    Community Answer
    Prioritize! It's very important. Find ways to reduce your schoolwork. If you can do some work in school, do it instead of talking to friends. If your teacher requires you to write a half page essay, and you usually write a page, try doing just half a page to reduce time. Do the hardest assignments first and focus on them. Work in a quiet place, and put your phone and other distractions away for the duration of the time you'll be studying. The sooner you get the work done, the sooner you can relax.
