You need to work hard lazy, if your planning on going to college.. they just raised the standards for acceptance..

my grades are so skewed after all my absences.

Go to community college once you graduate from High school. Just for 2yrs or so. Colleges wont give a damn how you did in High school if you have good/decent grades in college, plus you would be a transfer which help you get a degree faster.

First thing you need to do is talk to your teacher. To be honest, I was failing my 12th Grade AP English class because I failed to do the actual "written" vocabulary log, which ironically was only having to write them down, not the actual test part (which I passed just fine). Most teachers realize students don't want to go to summer school, and are really only concerned with make sure you learn the subject material. Often, you will find that they will work with you on your grades if you offer to do some sort of makeup work in lieu of the actual work that you failed to do, or more accurately, failed to pass.

When you speak with him/her, try to be as "polite" as possible, and explain your situation. Do not tell him/her that you don't want to do summer school because it will cut into your FFXI time. If you show your teacher that you know the subject material and exhibit that you have a "passing" understanding of English, they will assist you in the grades department. If however, you don't put any effort into learning the subject and just want to get a "90" to avoid learning English, don't expect them to pony up.




I suggest you start going through the list and using the words in sentences so that you get to know them, or at the very least have a semblance of understanding of what they mean. If I'm not mistaken, the times we had those quizes way back when in the stone ages, the quiz was 75% of the new words with about 25% of the old words tossed in to make it cumulative. Focus on the new ones, but try to go back and learn the old ones when possible. Many people find the best way to learn vocabulary is to make a word or two for the day and attempt to use it in a sentence whenever possible. Yes, your friends might find this a bit geeky, but it's not half as geeky as having to attend summer school.



Learn them.



Read "regular" sources of English whenever possible. While most people can learn the rules of grammar, it's impossible for most to apply them unless they see it in action. I suggest reading the newspaper or the variety of news related websites whenever possible.



Add spelling to the list. But in all seriousness, this is probably related to number 4. If you have bad grammar, than generally speaking you will get a poor grade on written papers. The only other "part" of a paper is your imagination, and that's something most teenagers have in large quantity. Most teachers just want a paper that is coherent, not publishing perfect.



Stop reading Engrish.

omg hi2u K.

lol yeah I knew that Dinav was, and I think Darksoul also? I had no idea you and lazy were from LA though

i used to live tehre T-T i miss it soo much, for some reason school was alot better than it is in arizona.

if you went to private school in LA it probably wasn't all too bad, but the public schools are horrible lol. I went to Catholic school for 12 years but my best friend went to East St. John High and their classes were a friggin joke there lol.

Yea Darksoul is friends with Dinav irl so im assuming they are both from N.O. also i think i remember Grimfandango saying he is also from N.O.
