My dads driving me nuts!!!!?
I agree with you, I mean people say you need good grades to get a good job and everything and no u don't! all you need to do is pass and just get by, because once you get older your job isn't going to look at your report card in middle school lol all they will look at is if you passed went to college and have a degree, so don't listen to your dad, do what you want and just make sure u r doing the best that you can do to get by and pass....goodluck!
Reply:Everyone needs at least one day off to relax. You do need help but if you never get a day off you can get very tense and not do well also.


My suggestion is to work harder on your studies after school and then maybe he will give you your weekends back. Prove to him you are capable of dealing with this yourself. I think youre smarter than your grades show simply because you can spell better than 80% of the kids in YA.
Reply:C's won't get you into college. Those will get you a job flipping burgers for the rest of your life and your dad knows this. He wants you to get good grades so you can be successful in life.
Reply:Don't fight the system, you seem to be an intelligent young man capable of getting A's. Your lucky to have a Dad that shows interest in you, there are so many children who wish they would be in your shoes.


You can do it!


The eight grade is always the hardest.


I know it's frustrating, but like I said if you buck the system life will only get harder to face.


Your Dad is your best friend in this life time hopefully you will realize It, Before It's too late.


Take Care of your self!
Reply:your dad is right. it's not about what the school requires. it's about your learning, which is what you need for a good life. buckle down and study. just do the work to get A's. you are also pitting your parents against each other which is a bad idea and they should not allow it. they should support each other. you need a lot better than Cs to get where you want to get in life. graduating is not the end of your life, only the start. you will need good skills that you are supposed to be learning in school
Reply:First, I will be honest. When I was in middle school, I was a C student also. Not from lack of skills but from having too much fun. Then, in high school, I settled down and even took college courses. In college, I was an A student.





Now for the part that will seem hurtful... From the errors in your post, you need the extra lessons. As a language arts instructor, I know that you can do much better than that.





It takes just as much effort to get a C as it does to get an A. You just have to learn how to study. Once you learn that, you will get an A report card.





Don't ever settle for your second best, you will only cheat yourself. Good luck and please know that you can still have your free time and fun when you become that A student.
Reply:well try to get good grades . like when ever u take a test and if it is a good grade show it to ur dad and if ur keep on doing that ur dad might not bring in the tutor . and u will be free aight
