before you mock him, maybe there are outside circumstances or problems in the ciriculum that are making him fail?

sometimes grades change becuase the material is harder to comprehend. sometimes kids have study issues and they have problems admiting it. hopefully hell see this as a sign of improvement and not let this slip up affect him in the future for HS graduation.

you dont know his situation and neither do we. all he said is that hes scared to show his parents his report card. which proves one thing. he once had good grades, hes scared to show them. or he again is presistantly failing and doesnt want to admit he needs help. hense the thread

dont flame him

My grades fell a bit too, well kinda. Some classes went up by a few points others fell by a few points. I say you just keep it with you, if they ask you for it. Say you forgot and then show them, if not then work your butt off and get better grades. Its all trial and error.

Granted that I am 24 almost now and haven't had to show a report card to my parents in like 7 years...the last time I remember showing them one was the worst report card in my life. It seriously was like F, F, F, F, F, A (drama). That was the year I got my first boyfriend. I swore that my dad was gonna beat me. He must have had a million other things on his mind or something cause when he saw it, he didn't get mad, nor did he yell. He just asked me if I was going to be bringing them up and I said, "Of Course!" Whew!!!

But seriously, I've never had a problem with grades (never gotten a C in my life) , I think that private school (as TLC mentioned) really helps.

But just show it too them, maybe you should have played the wii and posted here a little less... I don't think that the material would change your grade that drastically.

Grading scale here btw. is 66 failing. No A+'s either.

i went to a BUNCH of different schools.


when i was growing up, i went to probably one of the LARGEST school districts on long island ny (sachem school district)

then my parents divorced and i went the town i still live in now (just in an apartment not in the house with my mom anymore lol) and went to that district which was HALF the size of my first school. they also sent me back to JRHS (because 9th is still considered JRHS not HS) and then i went to private school.

i did well in sachem even though it was so large and you could practically get lost in it but when i went connetquot school district, i was so upset with my parents divorcing at 14, i didnt wanna pay attention and besides, i switched at the end of 9th grade (great time to make friends during june!!!!! ugh)

private school was the best investment my parents ever made. i would send my kids to private school in a heart beat if they were failing

**DISCLAIMER- only reason i mentioned my old school districts is because i have long since graduated from them. also they are not hard to locate on the internet. i would not suggest that anyone post their current schools (except maybe colleges)**

just tell them because if you lie now your parents will be less likely to believe in the future and next time if you get better grades maybe a new wii game for the good work ????

I would just make a fake one and show it to them since they would probably be suspicious if you told them that you don't get a report card.

A low C isn't any better then a high F. Once you get in high school you'll realize that those grades wont get you anywhere in life.

Its time to try a little harder in school, don't you think?

I half-way agree with you kiwi...

At least in the states, it's all ACT/SAT scores that determine college, which DOES have a lot to do with your life (just ask my older bro).
